WINNER OF BEST DIRECTOR at San Sebastian Film Festival and Tokyo International Film Festival.

An extraordinary tale exploring the timeless relationship between human and horse, Of Horses and Men is an equine odyssey from celebrated Icelandic filmmaker Fridrik Thor Fridriksson (Cold Fever, Devil's Island) and director Benedikt Erlingsson.

Set in a remote valley in picturesque Iceland, where neighbours know each others' every move, the community is preparing itself for a colourful Spring season of spirited amorous adventures and inevitable heartbreak.

The story of Kolbeinn (Ingvar Eggert Sigurosson, K-19: The Widowmaker), a man of the land who is in love with Solveig (Charlotte Boving). With an open heart she returns his love and admiration but must understand that Kolbeinn is staunchly dedicated to his prized possession and darling, the mare Grana who is in turn obsessed with the mighty stallion Brunn.

Love and death become interlaced with immense consequences for the whole community as we follow the fortunes of the townsfolk through the horses' wide-eyed perception in Of Horses and Men. 2013 Filmhuset Gruppen

การให้คะแนนและรีวิว

Most of the screenplay is shot in the beautiful outdoors. It is cold to watch and it must have been a difficult film to make particularly when half the cast is equine. The cadence of horse with music is beautifully captured.

This is a beautiful film that captures the beauty of the Icelandic people and culture tied to the fate of two horse. Short on dialogue (happily), enough is expressed by the people and their horses to make this a most memorable film.

Horrible
