The climax of the Ana Trilogy, Rachel Lang’s feature length debut unleashes a rare vitality, both infectious and moving. With a delightful balance of comedy and tragedy, Lang has created a unisex heroine for the ages with echoes of Frances Ha, but ultimately irresistibly unique

The authenticity of Salomé Richard’s performances is one of the main reasons for the extraordinary emotional reach of this triptych. White Turnips sees Ana trapped in a fading relationship, gradually coming to terms with the idea of letting go. A delicate and truthful chronicle of a death foretold.

MUBI is proud to present the work of Rachel Lang, the hugely talented debutante whose “Ana trilogy”—two shorts and Baden Baden—we’ve fallen for. We kick things off with the first installment, an acute exploration of uncertainty in the late adolescence—and winner of Locarno’s Silver Leopard.
