Creatura: A Bold Exploration of Sexual History and Intimacy Premiering at the 2023 Director Fortnight in Cannes!
Prepare to embark on a deeply personal and candid journey with the world premiere of "Creatura" at the 2023 Director Fortnight in Cannes.
Directed by Elena Martin Gimeno, this thought-provoking 112-minute film delves into the struggles of a seemingly perfect couple who have lost their ability to make love.
As Mila attempts to articulate their situation to her partner, she reflects on her own sexual history, spanning from adolescence to early childhood. With honesty and subtlety, the filmmaker and lead actress explore a web of accumulated humiliations, unspoken truths, and taboos, inviting viewers to engage with their own sexual archaeology.
Elena Martin Gimeno, a multi-talented artist from Barcelona, has received critical acclaim for her debut feature film, "Júlia ist," where she also played the lead role. As an actress, she has appeared in notable films such as "Jus de pastèque," "Face au vent," and "Agatha's Friends."
Her creative contributions extend to television, where she has been involved in writing for HBO's "Veneno," directing episodes of "Perfect Life," and creating an episode for "En casa."
Experience the powerful performances of Elena Martín Gimeno, Clàudia Dalmau, Clàudia Borràs, Oriol Pla, Alex Brendemühl, Clara Segura, Marc Cartanyà, and Carla Linares, as they bring these complex characters to life.
Alana Mejía González's cinematography, accompanied by the skilled sound design of Oriol Donat, Laia Casanova, and Leo Dolgan, beautifully capture the nuances of intimacy and vulnerability. The production design by Sylvia Steinbrecht and the editing by Ariadna Ribas further enhance the film's introspective atmosphere, while Clara Aguilar's music adds emotional depth to the narrative.
"Creatura" is a co-production by Vilaüt Films, Lastor Media, Elastica Films, Avalon P.C., and S/B Films. For international sales, contact Luxbox. This poignant exploration of sexuality and human connection offers a unique perspective that resonates with audiences on a deeply personal level.
