“Touch” by Icelandic director and actor Baltasar Kormákur tells a touching love story involving memories of yesteryear and secrets that slowly come to light. Kristófer, a chef, is awaiting a medical diagnosis that could have life-changing consequences. Although he has attempted to train his memory, he’s become increasingly forgetful. An MRI scan will show how far his dementia has progressed. But instead of staying put in snowy Reykjavík and waiting for a call from his doctor, Kristófer hops on a plane. He sets off to chase after his memories and find answers to questions about the past while he still can.

The unique beneficiary of the one million dollars death benefit is the sister of the victim, Isold (Julia Stiles), who lives with her son Thor and her husband Fred (Jeremy Renner) in a poor cabin in the middle of nowhere. Along the investigation, Abe discloses the truth about the fraud, but feels sorry for Isold and Thor and tries to help them with tragic consequences.

From cinemaperspective.com
When filmmakers possess a signature style that can be identified across their body of work, they are sometimes referred to as an auteur of cinema. It’s a term that might get banded around too frequently, but one that is often used when discussing Icelandic visionary Baltasar Kormákur. His latest feature is crime thriller The Oath, a personal project which he amazingly produces, directs, co-writes and stars in. The story follows family man heart surgeon Finnur (Kormákur) who tries to rescue his daughter Anna (Hera Hilmar) from her thuggish boyfriend Óttar (Gísli Örn Garðarsson) when she becomes entangled in his dangerous, criminal lifestyle.

The wavering moral compass of the protagonist serves as a guide to the narrative as he resorts to desperate measures which sees his life spiral out of control. Everyday sequences are consistently implemented where we see Finnur swimming and cycling to keep fit in his spare time as well as performing surgery in his professional position. This helps to create contrast between his respectable persona and his increasingly questionable decision-making, conjuring up Walter White-esque parallels as his intelligence informs his drastic actions.

As well as showing off his writing and directing skills, Kormákur impresses with a tremendous central performance that can transform from nuanced to volatile in an instant. The turning cogs of his plotting and panicking can be witnessed through facial expressions alone, and as well as his fascinating personal character arc, he also enjoys a tender father-and-daughter dynamic with Anna, who is portrayed with an authentic combination of teenage rebellion and vulnerability by Hilmar. Well suited to the chilly backdrop it unfolds against, The Oath is carefully crafted and smartly executed by Baltasar Kormákur, who displays his palpable technical know-how in a film that has a father’s warmth somewhere deep down in its icy cold heart.

The post Baltasar Kormákur – Djúpið aka The Deep (2012) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Hlynur is the ultimate slacker. He sleeps all day, drinks all night and fails to maintain any kind of sensible relationship with members of the opposite sex – except for his mother whose home he still lives in. Life is pretty simple in a depressing and dull sort of a way until Hlynur sleeps with a beautiful Spanish houseguest (the wonderful Abril) who it then transpires is his mother’s lesbian lover…

This is a wonderful black comedy with Hlynur being an extreme example of a nerdy mother’s boy who hadn’t a clue how to grow up since he’s never needed to, until his life suddenly changes without warning. The construction of the relationship between him and his mother is particularly realistic and touching (as well as funny); a highpoint of which is a wonderful scene where she slowly and unsurely comes out to her incredibly distracted son.

Hlynur is played with just the right blend of hopelessness, uselessness and self pity required and, though fairly unlikable to begin with, he grows more sympathetic. That much of his geekiness and depressive personality are more or less retained throughout this process is a credit to the quality of the acting and writing here.

Giving a marvelously judged performance as Hlynur is Hilmir Snaer Gudnason who is certainly worth keeping an eye on in the future. As the exotic love interest Victoria Abril is her usual stunning and intelligent self making her attraction to both Hlynur and his mother totally credible. Meanwhile Hlynur’s mother is an appropriately important but low-key figure and her own vulnerability and increasing confidence are both subtly evident in the background of Hlynur’s world.

Outside of the central plot Hlynur’s friends (classic disaffected youth) and the wonderfully awful family reunion scenes are very funny, as are his challenging appointments with the government unemployment people.

Add stark shots of the city, a dramatic Icelandic landscape and a capable score from Blur’s Damon Albarn (who also happens to own a bar in Iceland’s capital city), and it is easy to see why this film could earn considerable success. One of the best films I’ve seen in months – it will leave you smiling to yourself all day!
