THE OLIVE TREE Friday 2nd September 2022

 

The Olive Tree This is a small, soulful film that has two stars: the feisty Spanish actress Anna Castillo and a vast, gnarled, thousand-year-old olive tree.

The Olive Tree is a deeply human story about the broken and unbroken bonds between generations.  It follows a young Spanish woman’s literal and spiritual quest to recover a symbolically significant olive tree from its new owners, a German energy company. What triggers her quest is a minor incident that has major significance. The Olive Tree ends as a joyful, life-affirming film that shows the power of personal conviction and positive action.  [Alexa Dalby, Dog and Wolf magazine] Genre: Comedy, Drama Original Language: Spanish (Spain) Director:Icíar Bollaín Producer:Juan Gordon, Michael Weber Writer:Paul Laverty Runtime: 1h 38m Join us for our regular first Friday of the month film.
