Red Moon Tide review: myths of shipwrecked Galicia

Red Moon Tide is streaming on Mubi. Located on Galicia’s northwest seaboard, Costa da Morte is a craggy stretch of land where the earth meets the Atlantic in a biblical display of crashing waves and jutting rock formations. Named for the many shipwrecks that have occurred along its shore, Costa da Morte lent its name, mythology and magnificent vistas to experimental filmmaker Lois Patiño’s 2013 feature Coast of Death, the Spanish artist’s first feature-length work following a number of shorts that dealt with landscape and the anthropological forces that pit humanity against the natural world. Red Moon Tide, Patiño’s long-awaited follow-up, finds the filmmaker returning to the same location for a more sustained exploration of not only the porous boundaries between fact and folklore, the living and the dead, but also how myth-making has transformed the language and imagination of the Galician people.

Email Sign up There has been nothing quite like the lockdown of 2020-21 in the history of cinema, but it echoes what happened to art cinemas during World War II. In Britain, all cinemas were ordered closed at the outbreak in September 1939 – then were allowed to reopen within the month. Most of them continued even through the Blitz a year later, in 1940-41, but art cinemas – sometimes called ‘continental’ cinemas – were a different case. Some simply never reopened, others went into hibernation; a couple held out. Post-war recovery took a few years, but when it came film culture thrived in Britain as never before.
