Of Horses and Men
AroView: The extraordinary debut feature of Icelandic director Benedikt Erlingsson, a significant talent whose only other film is the equally brilliant “Woman At War”.
In this one, several stories are spun out of a tight knit rural community and their pure-bred Icelandic ponies – a centuries-old relationship marked by absurd contrasts and hilarious commonalities. A thing of beauty both visually and philosophically, the film skillfully harmonizes comedy, drama and romance over a lean 80 minutes.
“Flabbergasting images and a delightfully dry sense of humor make Of Horses and Men a debut worthy of celebration.” ~Jay Weissberg, Variety
