‘Romería’ Review: Carla Simón Takes The Scenic Route For A Highly Personal Journey Of Self-Discovery – Cannes Film Festival

‘Romería’ review: Carla Simón takes the scenic route for a highly personal journey of self-discovery – Cannes Film Festival

Fresh-faced Marina — the fictionalized Simón, played by street-casting discovery Llucia Garcia — arrives in Vigo to meet another dense knot of cousins, aunts and her paternal grandparents. Wearing an old dress of her mother’s, she is like Alice venturing into her family’s seaside wonderland; whimsical dream sequences show her young parents as if in home movies, the camera jerking and the colors faded unevenly. Title: Romería Festival: Cannes (Competition) Director/screenwriter: Carla Simón Cast: Llúcia Garcia, Tristán Ulloa, Mitch Martin, Sara Casasnovas Sales agent: MK2 Running time: 1 hr 55 mins
