Flatland (2019)
The opening film of the 2019 Berlin Panorama, Flatland is the third feature from multi-award-winning South African director Jenna Cato Bass (High Fantasy, Love the One You Love).
When her disastrous wedding night ends in a murder, Natalie flees across the desolate Karoo on horseback with her heavily pregnant best friend Poppie. Hot on their trail is Captain Beauty Cuba, a lonely policewoman intent on proving the innocence of her long-lost fiancé, who has been framed for Natalie’s crime.
Variety calls Flatland “an exhilarating fusion of contemporary western and girls-gone-wild road movie,” praising “the film’s sensational trio of female leads”: Faith Baloyi (Blood Psalms), Nicole Fortuin (Indemnity) and Izel Bezuidenhout (Dis Ek, Anna).
