‘The Wolf Will Tear Your Immaculate Hands,’ Director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén
Nathalie Álvarez Mesén made her feature debut in Cannes Fest with 2021 Directors’ Fortnight stand out Clara Sola.
But the Swedish-Costa Rican director is no Venice Fest newbie. Entre Tú y Milagros, which she co wrote with director Mariana Saffon, won the Orizzonti Award for Best Short Film on the Lido in 2020.
Her sophomore feature, and English-language debut, is a gothic horror co-written with Icelandic author Sjón (Lamb, The Northman).
Set in the 1860s Pacific Northwest, it stars Darla Contois (Little Bird) as a Native American governess hired to teach the daughters of a British widower (played by Alexander Skarsgård). Production on the film wrapped in December so a Venice (or Toronto) bow looks likely.
