Provincetown Film Art Series: The Quiet Girl
The Provincetown Film Art Series, now in its 18th year, is sponsored by the Provincetown Film Society (PFS) and Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) and curated and hosted by film scholar Howard Karren. Films in the series, both recent and vintage, are chosen around central themes, but the focus is on films about artists and creativity, and films that are themselves works of art.
The Quiet Girl (2022)
Written and directed by Colm Bairéad, based on the novella Foster by Claire Keegan. With Carrie Crowley, Andrew Bennett, and Catherine Clinch. In English and Irish, subtitled. 1 hour, 35 minutes.
Poor and unloved in rural Ireland, 1981, young Cáit is sent away to spend a summer with relatives. There, with some kindness and attention, she learns some truths about herself, life in the world, and her messed-up family. A lovely, perspicacious film that is inseparable from its setting.
