Yerma (DVD), House of Film, Mystery & Suspense

The movie is a beautiful visual contrast between the Andalusian culture of Lorcas play and the modern culture of London High Society.

Although Eva is increasingly obsessed with her inability to become a mother, she is also conflicted by the responsibility she has to the institution of marriage. This suspenseful thriller culminates in a shocking ending. Created in memory of Spanish poet/ playwright Federico Garcia Lorca on the on the 80th anniversary of his assassination.
