The Love That Remains
Preview screening
Hlynur Pálmason's new film debuted in the non-competitive Cannes Premiere section.
Intimate yet sweeping, tender and mocking, slapstick and dreamlike, melancholic and sensitive to the slightest manifestations of beauty, The Love That Remains is a surprising hybrid of emotions and styles.
In telling the story of the breakdown of a family, Pálmason depicts the limbo in which the characters find themselves: a married couple and their three children.
Magnus is a sailor on fishing boats, Anna is an artist dreaming of a breakthrough in her career. Each of them tries to glue the family back together on their own, but it is Magnus who feels like he has been thrown overboard.
For Pálmason, this study of separation is an opportunity to look—with irony and tenderness—at men who are drifting, lost, searching for new roles for themselves.
Navigating between the seasons, photographing the harsh Icelandic landscape, obsessively observing machines, the director flawlessly finds visual equivalents for emotional and existential instability.
This poignant and irresistibly funny film is also one of the greatest tributes to love ever created by cinema.
