A COMMON CRIME celebrated it UK Premiere at the BFI London Film Festival 2021.
Award-winning director Márquez (Cannes nominated for 2016’s The Long Night of Francisco Sanctis), in assured command of his material, gets a truly remarkable lead performance from Elisa Carricajo (The Tenth Man), who, present in almost every frame, commands the screen as a woman torn between the concepts of idealism and the reality of taking action. Intimate, increasingly claustrophobic and brilliantly realised, A COMMON CRIME is an example of Latin American cinema at its most potent and profound.
Like Sovereign's recent acclaimed releases Song Without A Name and Verdict, A COMMON CRIME looks at injustice and inequities in modern society, and the consequences of ignoring them, making it a thought-provoking drama as well as an intense and memorable thriller. It’d be a crime to miss it.
A COMMON CRIME will be released 9th April 2021.
