THE RIM
[LA PARRA]
Struggling to make ends meet, oddball Damian (Alfonso Míguez) tries to change his fortune via game-show glory. But when that doesn't pan out, he returns to his hometown of Ferrol in Galicia for the first time in 20 years. Taking up residence among a couture of eccentrics in a guest house, he is continually mistaken for a man named "Cosme." Is it a coincidence, or is a larger conspiracy afoot? With shades of David Lynch and Luis Buñuel, Spanish filmmaker Alberto Gracia has crafted his own surreal thriller, aided by a Carpenter-esque synth score by Jonay Armas. Official Selection, 2024 Rotterdam and New Directors/New Films film festivals. DIR/SCR Alberto Gracia; PROD Roi Carballido, Beli Martínez, Javier Tasio. Spain, 2024, color, 90 min.
