In Carla Simon’s touching autobiographical film, six-year-old Frida looks on in silence as the last objects from her recently deceased mother’s apartment in Barcelona are placed in boxes.
Summer 1993
(Spain, drama, 97 minutes, unrated) In Carla Simón’s award-winning autobiographical film, six-year-old Frida adjusts to living with her aunt, uncle, and younger cousin Anna in the countryside in the wake of her mother’s death. Punctuated by moments of youthful exuberance and mature ruminations, this coming of age drama is an extraordinarily moving snapshot of being a child in an adult world, anchored by flawless performances by its two young stars. “‘Summer 1993’ balances delicately on the aftermath of a tragedy, but its tone is far from dismal. Melancholy, yes, and even momentarily wrenching; yet its emotional arc bends insistently from inarticulate sadness to gentle catharsis.” — New York Times
