STAY ART HOME – Volume 1

Cinema:

Captive from Sarah Polley and Noreen Halpern, 2017.

Adaptation from the eponymous novel by Margaret Atwood, famous for her dystopia The Scarlet Handmaid, and based on real facts, this mini-series retraces Grace Marks' story, a young woman sentenced to death in 1859 for the murder of her master and housekeeper. The series follows the psychologist who, years later, is charged with assessing whether the young woman is mentally responsible for these crimes.

As its name suggests, this series captivates the viewer from the outset, plunging us into the young woman's mental universe. As the story is told by Grace herself, one can not tell whether this is the truth or are these events just a figment of her imagination?

Available on Netflix

 

The Salt of the Earth by Wim Wenders, 2014
