The Love That Remains (15)
Dir. Hlynur Palmason, Iceland/Denmark/Sweden, 2025, 109 mins. In Icelandic and Danish with English Subtitles. Cast. Saga Garðarsdóttir, Sverrir Gudnason, Ída Mekkín HlynsdóttirÍda.
A tone switch for Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason (Godland, A White, White Day) who brings humour and fantasy to a tender, inventive and surprising account of the end of a marriage and its effects within a family.

Filled with evocative imagery of spectacular Icelandic landscapes, the film introduces us to artist Anna and fisherman Magnus, their three children and a scene-stealing family dog. Anna is certain about her break-up with Magnus; he is less so. He continues to return home when he’s not at sea, but his influence in the family is on the wane…
