A Little Trip to Heaven

A Little Trip to Heaven

A Little Trip to Heaven

dir. Baltasar Kormákur

Iceland / USA, 2005 - 85

The early 1980’s in the hostile and harsh American Midwest. Insurance investigator Holt (Whitaker) is investigating the suspicious death of the driver of a burned-out car. Holt has to work out whether this was an attempt to swindle the insurance company. When he meets Isolde, the dead man's sister, whose face is disfigured by severe scars, Holt slowly begins to lose his professional distance... A pleasantly elusive film that tends toward both a stylised thriller and a dry comedy. Gorgeously shot, it captures the surreal nature of small-town America. The film creates a universe dominated by shifting values and conflicted emotions, a world familiar to anyone who saw Kormákur’s earlier “101 Reykjavík” or “The Sea”.

Eden

Eden

Eden

dir. Michael Hofmann

Germany / Switzerland, 2005 - 98

A sensual, romantic film about the art of cooking and love. Overweight, eccentric master chef Gregor runs a small private restaurant where he celebrates his brand of “cucina erotica”. One day a young woman called Eden tries some chocolates made by this asexual chef. The taste sends her into rapture. Overwhelmed, she shows up unannounced at Gregor’s house one evening. In a veritable frenzy she devours everything in sight and runs off without a word. The woman’s hair and clothes are a mess, her marriage tedious. The chef is fat and asexual, but a genius in the kitchen. A platonic love story that evokes strong emotions.

Offside

dir. Jafar Panahi

Iran, 2006 - 88

In Iran, it is illegal for women to attend soccer games at the stadiums. The film is set against the backdrop of an actual match Iran played against Bahrain to qualify for the Asian Cup 2006. Six soccer-crazy young women want to see the game live. Like their male counterparts, they just want to indulge in the frenzied communal moment of supporting their country and celebrating the skills on display. To fulfil their desires, they must pass themselves off as young men, hoping that disguises will get them past the guards who ring the stadiums. The film is not just about women being banned from matches, it is about their rights in a Muslim society. As the women inch closer to the stadium, and glimpse the magic grass carpet of the playing field, Iranian society and its contradictions are laid bare.
