Acropolis Cinema hosts the U.S premiere of SPARTA by Ulrich Seidl

Ewald moved to Romania years ago. Now in his 40s, he seeks a fresh start. Leaving his girlfriend, he moves to the hinterland. With young boys from the area, he transforms a decaying school into a fortress. The children enjoy a new, carefree existence. But the distrust of the villagers is soon awoken. And Ewald is forced to confront a truth he has long suppressed. Sparta is the brother film to Rimini, Ulrich Seidl’s last feature, and the conclusion of the director’s diptych about the inescapability of the past and the pain of finding yourself. DCP, 2022, Austria/France/Germany, Drama, 101 minutes, in German and Romanian with English subtitles.
