‘You Burn Me’ Acquired by Cinema Guild for North American Release and Matias Pineiro Season (EXCLUSIVE)


After premiering in Berlin, 'You Burn Me' is acquired by Cinema Guild for North American release atop a season of titles by director Matias Pineiro.

In “Sea Foam,” Pavese stages a fictional dialogue between the ancient Greek poet Sappho and the nymph Britomartis, played in the film by frequent Piñeiro collaborators Gabi Saidón and María Villar. Reuniting at the shore, they discuss life, death and the bittersweet nature of desire.Piñeiro, known for his series of metatextual films dealing with the translation and performance of Shakespeare, is not content to simply restage a dialogue. These include: fragmentary poetry of Sappho, by whom only one complete poem still exists; the circumstances of Pavese’s death, heartbroken in a Turin hotel room; and the science of sea foam with its connections to disease and fertility.
