But Coixet strikes with a renewed sense of conviction in \u201cUn Amor,\u201d an adaptation of Sara Mesa\u2019s Spanish-language bestseller that plays to her unusual strengths as a full-blooded feminist filmmaker. Making no cozy compromises in its portrayal of a young woman <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ly and sexually exploited by rural patriarchy \u2014 while still foregrounding the consuming strength and autonomy of her desire \u2014 it\u2019s a tricky balancing act that mostly works, thanks also to a crackling lead performance by Laia Costa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The combined draws of Costa and popular, much-translated source material should ensure \u201cUn Amor\u201d many further festival dates and relatively widespread arthouse exposure following its premiere in the main competition at San Sebasti\u00e1n. But this is not obviously crowdpleasing fare: \u201cUn Amor\u2019s\u201d gender politics are commendably complex, and its study of sex as social currency both frank and occasionally disturbing. It\u2019s a film that certainly invites keen post-screening debate over the motivations and moral standing of multiple characters, including those of Nat, Costa\u2019s predominantly sympathetic but self-sabotaging heroine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Coixet wrongfoots us at the outset, opening not on Nat but with v\u00e9rit\u00e9-style interview footage of a Sudanese refugee, recounting her arduous journey to Europe with plainly harrowed but unflinching candor. We come to understand this is one of many testimonies that Nat, a freelance translator,    handled in her previous job, and return to it at repeated intervals in the film. This framing risks putting Nat\u2019s very different experiences of abuse in dismissive perspective, but instead gradually makes sense of her decision to pack up her previous urban life and move to a forbidding country settlement in Spain\u2019s northern A\u00ednsa-Sobrarbe region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As rural escapes go, it\u2019s not an idyllic one: The village is gray and unphotogenic, surrounded by an impressive but austere landscape of rock and scrub, all under perennially overcast skies. The small house she rents is in a barely habitable state of disrepair, its leaking roof and crumbling walls shrugged off by a landlord (Luis Bermejo) whose sexist surliness increasingly edges into the psychotic. He\u2019s the most outwardly hostile member of a prickly community that regards her with near-uniform suspicion. At first only her neighbor Piter (Hugo Silva), a self-styled stained-glass artist, makes friendly overtures, but always with a guilt-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ping pushiness that\u2019s a severe red flag.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Taking a more quietly direct approach is Andreas (Hovik Keuchkerian), a bearish, taciturn handyman of indeterminate origin whom the locals dub \u201cthe German\u201d \u2014 and it\u2019s perhaps this shared marginalized status that emboldens him to knock on Nat\u2019s door one evening and ask her to sleep with him, in exchange for free home repairs. Utterly bemused, she refuses, only to show up at his place the next day with a changed mind: Coixet and co-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>er Laura Ferrero write this startling transaction with few words, the terms of the arrangement underlined in the actors\u2019 complicit expressions and contrasting body language. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yet what begins as one-time deal soon escalates, by dint of mutual loneliness if no great personal compatibility, into a heated carnal affair that shifts Nat\u2019s already fragile social position in the village \u2014 and on which our hitherto self-contained protagonist grows alarmingly dependent. It\u2019s an improbable turn of events on paper, but one the actors make convincing, both projecting a nervy reticence that somehow sparks into passive-aggressive chemistry. Calm but never quite peaceful, with a latent violence in his placid gaze, Keuchkerian is a riveting foil, but this is Costa\u2019s film, driven by her watchful curiosity and straight-backed air of determination. Her Nat is vulnerable, protective of her internal wounds, but with a glimmer of wry humor that wards off the film\u2019s potential dourness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Costa\u2019s performance has enough visibly restless energy, twitching beneath her well-behaved facade, that a climactic burst into wild, free-form dance feels a little over-determined \u2014 a cinematic flourish that supersedes the character\u2019s sharply drawn instincts. But it\u2019s a forgivably expressive curlicue in a film otherwise shorn of its director\u2019s most whimsical impulses, told with rigor and penetrating human interest, its simple title belying a panoply of nuances behind the idea of love \u2014 of self and others \u2014 and how it nourishes or destroys us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
