Set against the stunning backdrop of Iceland’s natural landscape, spanning the seasons of a year, The Love That Remains captures moments within the life of a family as the parents navigate their separation.
Through intimate vignettes that run the gamut from tender and soft to strange and obscure, the film beautifully explores the complexities of family, art, love, relationships and life at large.
Pioneering Icelandic filmmaker and visual artist Hlynur Pálmason follows his critically acclaimed historical epic Godland with the intimate family drama The Love That Remains. A perhaps surprising change of pace proves to be a deepening of Pálmason’s filmmaking style.
Using surrealist elements throughout, Pálmason imbues his film with humour and lightness, rendering it one of his most accessible and relatable films to date.
“Remarkable intuition and sensitivity ”
