Sundance 2023: “When It Melts”
Sundance’s World Cinema Dramatic Competition Special Jury Award for Best Performance went to Eva Marchant ( When It Melts ). Marchand stars as the young Eva who experiences disappointment in one of the most harrowing performances I have seen. Actress Veerle Baetens ( The Broken Circle Breakdown ) made When It Melts her feature debut as a director; she adapted the screenplay with Maarten Loix based on the book The Melting by Lize Spit.
