Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #190. Amiel Courtin-Wilson’s Carnation

Date:

Carnation

We’re beginning to think Amiel Courtin-Wilson’s Carnation is driftwood at sea as it wrapped up back in 2019. The Australian filmmaker with film splash showings at Sundance, Cannes and Venice might be still chiselling down his latest feature as we happened to notice it’s advertised at over two and a half hours. This filmed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with producers Abby Harri, John Baker, Kate Laurie, Chris Luscri, Freeman Trebilcock backing the project.

Gist: In the American South, two lovers forge an all-consuming love as their physical and spiritual worlds are pushed to the limits of time and space. Carnation is an impressionistic portrait of love and the ways in which we attempt to transcend our mortality.

Release Date/Prediction: We imagined this receiving an invite at Venice last year, but this could be gunning for something like a Locarno preem.
