Horses, Iceland, Death and Love

Of Horses and Men (2013)

Written and directed by Benedikt Erlingsson this film stars Helgi Bjornsson, Charlotte Bovig, Sigriour Maria Eglisdottir and Maria Ellingsen. We see six connected stories about people and their horses from the same rural community in Iceland.

No doubt there is something enjoyable about this look into the slightly bizarre nature of a community still so reliant on their horses. The interactions between the characters are often strange and hint at the similarities that still exist between man and beast. There is some great landscape photography that really captures the look of Iceland too.
