Starve Acre (15)

1970s, rural England. Richard and Juliette’s seemingly idyllic family life is thrown into turmoil when their son Ewan starts acting out of character, creating an insurmountable wedge between the once happy couple.

At Starve Acre, their remote family home, archaeologist Richard buries himself in exploring a folkloric myth that the ancient oak tree on their land is imbued with phenomenal powers. While Juliette turns to the local community to find some kind of peace, Richard obsessively digs deeper.

‘Perfectionist direction and subtly unsettling mood give a bespoke edge…’ Jonathan Romney, Screen International

‘…intelligent, thought-through performances putting life back into some familiar tropes.’ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
