Icelandic director and visual artist Hlynur Pálmason (born 1984) has made a drama about a couple with children who separate in “The Love That Remains.” The film shows how a family can remain a unit despite a new phase of life. Süddeutsche Zeitung reviews the film, currently in theaters.
Pálmason, known for his visually powerful films, relies on striking images in “The Love That Remains.” The film opens with a scene in which a house’s tin roof on the Icelandic coast is torn off by a crane – a metaphor for the loss of security and safety. The director had his own children appear in the film, lending the work a special authenticity.
