Winter Brothers

Take a breath of freezing air, take in the snow - and let yourself go to the strangest winter journey you've ever experienced in the cinema. Surrealistic, absurd, leaving the traces of black humor on white fluff, Hlynur Pálmason's film takes us to a mining settlement located in the middle of the forest. They live here, as befits a fairy tale, two brothers. One of them, the younger one, rushes moonshine, desperately longs for love and repeats that everyone has a dark side in them. In the film world, her metaphor is the mine, where headlamps scatter the darkness, in which the tension between working men grows quiet. Visionary, surprising, intensely interacting through images Winter brothers talk about what is hidden: about rivalry, aggression, the desire for revenge, which are wounded and destroyed by the human soul mine extracted. But also about all that can stop the dark.
