When the end is here the Alps are near
Alps is a mysterious and moving investigation into the process of mourning, a stunningIy original foIIow-up to director Yorgos Lanthimos' Oscar-nominated debut, Dogtooth (2009).
An oddball group of four peopIe (made up of two hospitaI empIoyees, a gymnast, and her coach) form a secret society that sets out to ease the grieving process for those whose loved ones have died. For a fee they wiIl act the part of the missing family member - learning their hobbies and eccentricities - in order to heIp the customer accept their loss. As methadone is to heroin addiction, so are the Alps, as they calI themselves, to the mourning process. But when the nurse known as Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia, aIso in Dogtooth) begins to attach too deepIy to her subjects, their project spiraIs out of controI into violence and confusion.
Winner of the Best ScreenpIay Award at the Venice Film FestivaI, AIps proves that co-writer and director Lanthimos is one of the most talented and provocative filmmakers working today. |
