The Love That Remains
[Ástin sem eftir er] directed by Hlynur Pálmason, Island 2025, 115'
- A year in the life of a family whose parents decide to separate. Anna and Magnus have three children and a dog—they have split up, yet they continue to spend time together, piecing together a new reality.
-
- Hlynur Pálmason’s latest film debuted in the Cannes Premiere, an out-of-competition section of the festival. Intimate yet grand in scale, tender and mocking, slapstick and dreamlike, melancholic and sensitive to the smallest manifestations of beauty—Love That Remains is a surprising hybrid of emotions and styles.
- In telling the story of a family's disintegration, Pálmason masterfully depicts the "life bardo" in which the protagonists find themselves: a married couple and their three children. Magnus is a sailor on fishing vessels; Anna is an artist dreaming of a career breakthrough. Each tries to mend the shattered family in their own way, but it is Magnus who feels like the one cast overboard.
-
- For Pálmason, this study of separation is an opportunity to observe—with both irony and affection—drifting, lost men searching for new roles. Navigating through the seasons (the film portrays a full year in the family's life), portraying the raw Icelandic landscape, and obsessively observing machinery, the director flawlessly finds visual equivalents for emotional and existential instability. This poignant and irresistibly funny film is one of the most magnificent tributes to love that cinema has ever created.
