Si è appena concluso il 41° Sundance Film Festival con la vittoria di Atropia che si è aggiudicato il Gran Premio della Giuria per un dramma Usa. Atropia è un film satirico prodotto da Luca Guadagnino e segnala il debutto alla regia di un lungometraggio per Hailey Gates, che ne firma anche la sceneggiatura. La storia segue un’aspirante attrice, interpretata da Alia Shawkat, impiegata in una base militare statunitense progettata per ricreare scenari di guerra iracheni. Quando sviluppa un legame sentimentale con un soldato incaricato di impersonare un insorto, interpretato da Callum Turner, la loro relazione rischia di mettere in pericolo l’intera missione. Nel cast figurano anche Chloë Sevigny e Tim Heidecker.
