‘Suro’ by Mikel Gurrea: a review on suspense

Address Mikel Gurrea

interpreters Vicky Luengo, Pol Lopez, Ilyass El Ouahdani

premiere December 2, 2023

A couple in crisis trying to find solution to their condition, leaving the flawed comfort zone in which they were placed. A Catalan farmhouse that is big, beautiful but in need of restoration. A cork oak forest that needs to be processed when the season comes. The two characters and the two gaps, for which Mikel Gurrea built his first feature film, were so well portrayed by Vicky Luengo and Pol López. There are more and more human figures lurking around them, from workers with whom the protagonist doesn’t get along well to the immigrant who introduces themes like difference and racism into the drama. The necessary figures to create other tense situations that the two main characters have already dragged into. because In almost all scenes of ‘Suro’ the tension is felt in the air, on the ground, in the looks and silences, in what they say and in their silence..

As in the ‘As bestas’ by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, another recent Spanish film, the echoes of ‘Perros de paja’ are also noticeable in Gurrea’s film, one of the founding films of the tense drama movement in which representatives of urban life compete with others. appearing isolated in a rural community. But the ambiguity in ‘Suro’ is very different because he is in charge of showing us that. seemingly indefinite final shot perfectly describes the mechanisms of this rigorous and disturbing film.
