Harpur Cinema presents Woman At War
Details
Reminiscent of Kaurismaki's deadpan tragicomic humor, this black comedy artfully balances absurdist and hilarious invention with melancholy and warm wit, and tense thriller. Halla, 50, is a mild-mannered choir director, but she is also a fearless eco-warrior who, with the athletic physicality of an Ethan Hunt, battles big industries, toppling power lines and demolishing drones with her bow-and-arrow. The cinematographer "shoots his Icelandic landscapes with such an eye for their barren beauty that it makes this eco-superhero's motivation crystal clear: this is a beautiful world that is well worth saving" (BFI).
