A UK release date has been set for You Won’t Be Alone, the Sundance-debuting horror movie from Macedonian-Australian Writer/Director Goran Stolevski which stars Anamaria Marinca and Noomi Rapace.
I literally saw this film this morning and, six hours later, it is still firmly embedded in my head.
Maria (Anamaria Marinca), a 200-year-old witch, abducts a young girl to raise as her own. But after transforming 16-year-old Nevena (Sara Klimoska) into one of her own kind, Maria quickly loses interest in her protégée. Abandoned in the woods, Nevena accidentally kills a peasant woman (Noomi Rapace) and assumes her shape. Enraptured by the wonders and hardships of life, Nevena continues to kill and inhabit both female and male villagers as she learns to treasure the range of human experience. But when Maria suddenly reappears, Nevena is forced to make a heartbreaking decision.
We reviewed the film at Sundance, saying: ‘Although a troubling watch from the start, You Won’t Be Alone manages to connect with the viewer on an emotional level as it casts a spotlight on the biggest riddle of all: the human condition.’
