Executive produced by Martin Scorsese, the coming-of-age film ‘Murina‘ is set to make its debut in the states on July 8 in select theaters.
The movie won the Camera d’Or (Golden Camera) award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
Murina, which translates to eel, takes place along Croatia’s Adriatic coast and hones in on 17-year-old diver and eel fisherwoman Julija (Gracija Filipović) as she grapples with her suffocating father Ante (Leon Lucev) and stifled mother Nela (Danica Curcic). When wealthy family friend Javier (Cliff Curtis) comes to town for a business investment, Julija sees a way out — no matter the costs.
Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović directed the movie, and as mentioned abiove, Scorsese liked the film so much he jumped on board as an executive producer.
‘Murina’ also premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received mostly positive reviews. It seems like a lot of critics were amazed by just how beautiful the film looks on screen.
As mentioned above, ‘Murina’ will open in select theaters on July 8, 2022. Check out the trailer below…
