Atarrabi and Mikelats | Clip | NYFF58

Eugène Green's Atarrabi and Mikelats is a Main Slate selection at the 58th New York Film Festival. Get tickets: www.filmlinc.o...
Eugène Green (last seen at NYFF with 2016’s The Son of Joseph) fashions an original modern-dress take on Basque myth in his inimitable style, perched on the line between earnest spirituality and sly satire. Atarrabi and Mikelats are brothers born minutes apart, the children of the powerful goddess Mari. After their mother hands them over to the Devil, making him their teacher and caretaker-he’s a scholar and the “height of hipness,” after all-the boys grow up to be polar opposites. The curious, saintly Atarrabi (Saia Hiriart) wants to see the world beyond their lair; the wicked, diabolical Mikelats (Lukas Hiriart) prefers to stay and pledge his soul to his master. Green’s entertaining, episodic, and surpassingly beautiful film is a strikingly original vision of good and evil and the importance of humility and humanity in a fearful world.
Presented by Film at Lincoln Center, the 58th New York Film Festival highlights the best in world cinema from September 17-October 11. This year’s festival features drive-in screenings in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens and virtual screenings available nationwide. Get tickets and see more information: www.filmlinc.o...
