Why watch?
“Director Athina Rachel Tsangari is well known as one of the leading voices of the Greek New Wave films of the late 2000s, working as associate producer on Dogtooth, and crafting her own directorial voice on films like Chevalier and Attenberg. with Harvest, she adapts the novel of the same name by British author Jim Crace, crafting a film that feels connected to the traditions of British folk horror whilst also not being that. It is removed, distanced, beautifully observant and anchored by an amazing cast.”

On the morning after harvest, the inhabitants of a remote English village awaken looking forward to a hard-earned day of rest and feasting at their landowner's table. But the sky is marred by two conspicuous columns of smoke, replacing pleasurable anticipation with alarm and suspicion.
One smoke column is the result of an overnight fire that has damaged the master's outbuildings. The second column rises from the wooded edge of the village, sent up by newcomers to announce their presence. In the minds of the wary villagers a mere coincidence of events appears to be unlikely, with violent confrontation looming as the unavoidable outcome. Meanwhile, another newcomer has recently been spotted taking careful notes and making drawings of the land. It is his presence more than any other that will threaten the village's entire way of life.
