Sep 07, 2018
Quand la jeune Magnea rencontre Stella pour la première fois, sa vie change du tout au tout. D'un coup, cette élève émérite excellant également dans les sports veut abandonner sa vie d'adolescente de la classe moyenne, car elle est fascinée par le style de vie peu conventionnel et la personnalité vivace de Stella. Elle se met à accompagner la jeune fille et son petit ami Toni dans un univers de perdition. Ils font au début les petits escrocs, mais tombent vite dans la drogue, l'alcool, le sexe et la fête, ce qui ne fait qu'aggraver leur situation. Malgré les tentatives d'intervention de son père, Magnea continue dans cette voie. Tandis que l'attirance mutuelle et l'amour entre les deux filles s'intensifie, elles sont prêtes à s'enfuir ensemble, en faisant fi des conséquences potentiellement catastrophiques de leurs actes. Elles vont ensuite perdre contact. Douze ans après, une rencontre chargée de malaise va créer une tension inévitable entre les anciennes inséparables.

When We Are Born

Mar 07, 2021
WHEN WE ARE BORN is a unique live performance film that tells a touching and thoroughly human story based in part on Ólafur’s life. Filmed on location in Iceland in summer 2020, it features the contributions of an unparalleled creative collective including ground-breaking choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir, the Iceland Dance Company and cinematographer Thor Eliasson. The music in the film builds upon Ólafur’s critically praised new album ‘some kind of peace’ and was performed and recorded live on set, representing a constant cinematic conversation between picture and music. Vincent Moon’s intimate cinematic vision brings this layered metaphorical world to life as we see Ólafur’s music manifested and symbolised all around him through set design, lighting and dance. Through themes of rituals, relationships and exploration of our inner landscapes, this is a film focused on how we all move forward.
