Beautiful, intelligent, sweet and bitter work Pálmason It will be part of the Oslo/Reykjavik section, in which the most interesting films showing the richness of modern cinema from North Europe are gathered.
Marcin Pieńkowski, director of the BNP Paribas Nowe Horizons shared his impressions after the world premiere. “Author ‘Godland’ and ‘White, white day’ He won the hearts of the Cannean audience with a sweet-bit portrait of Icelandic family. Anna and Magnus have three children and a dog – they parted, although they still spend time together, gluing a new reality that is uncomfortable, foreign and somewhat absurd. They may still love each other, but they can’t be with each other. Palmason draws a sensitive, wonderfully funny and touching picture of family relationships. His formally delightful film is constructed like a jazz composition – it is a humanistic cinema, catching human emotions in a pure state”.
In the section program we will also see, among others, two films from Norway Daga Johan Haugerud: awarded with the Golden Bear on Berlinale “Dreams about love” and shown in the main competition at the MFF in Venice “Love” – A story about an unconventional knowledge of a doctor and a nurse. This is a cinema of the Rohmer spirit, full of inner peace, embedded in everyday small talk and interesting alternative relations models.
There will also be “Epillars” Icelandic Ari Alexander Ergis Magnússon – an almost surreal experience that the audience takes deep into the memories of a mourning man.
