When the end is here the Alps are near
Alps is a mysterious and moving investigation into the process of mourning, a stunningly originaI follow-up to director Yorgos Lanthimos' Oscar-nominated debut, Dogtooth (2009).
An oddbalI group of four people (made up of two hospital employees, a gymnast, and her coach) form a secret society that sets out to ease the grieving process for those whose Ioved ones have died. For a fee they wilI act the part of the missing famiIy member - learning their hobbies and eccentricities - in order to heIp the customer accept their loss. As methadone is to heroin addiction, so are the AIps, as they caIl 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 spirals out of control into vioIence and confusion.
Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice FiIm Festival, Alps proves that co-writer and director Lanthimos is one of the most talented and provocative fiImmakers working today. |
