Short synopsis:

Two Russian ghosts, who just passed away, are already sick of spending their days in limbo. To become part of the living again, they must go on a pilgrimage and follow the Way of St. James to the ‘end of the Earth’. On their way through the Galician landscape to Finisterre, the two white-robed figures and their horse get into surreal situations and experience unexpected encounters – from talking animals and Catalonian video art of the 80s to an extremely unreliable guide in white rubber boots. 

 

Why this comedy matters:
FINISTERRAE takes us into a surreal fantasy world full of strange characters and situations. The hilarious road movie is accompanied by gorgeous images by cinematographer Eduard Grau, who also worked on Tom Ford's A SINGLE MAN. Even if you don't recognize the references to Philippe Garrel’s classic THE INNER SCAR (1972), FINISTERRAE is absolutely worth watching solely for its unique and captivating humor.

 

Won: International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011 – Tiger Award;
Ars Independent Film Festival Katowice 2011 – Best Film

Sergio Caballero:
"The unusual conception of this film is based on filming the images first, and then creating the script afterwards, before finally adding the dialogues. This has enabled the director to experiment with classical film structures. The result is a film full of unusually expressive images and an ironic and surreal sense of humor."

Sergio Caballero, born 1966 in Villarreal, Spain, is the co-director of the Sónar Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art. Besides filmmaking he works in electronic composition, the plastic arts and conceptual art. Together with composer Pedro Alcalde, he has created five musical compositions for the National Dance Company. FINISTERRAE is his first full-length film.

 

You will love this film if you like BEETLEJUICE or THE INNER SCAR.
