Hello r/movies! I'm I'm Hlynur Pálmason. Here to answer your questions.
You might know me as the director of 2022's GODLAND, which was shortlisted for the International Film Oscar. My film newest film, THE LOVE THAT REMAINS, premiered at Cannes last May (where our lead animal actor, Panda, won the Palm Dog Award!) and stars Saga Garðarsdóttir, Sverrir Guðnason, Ída Mekkín Hlynsdóttir, Þorgils Hlynsson,and Grímur Hlynsson. I was the writer, director, and director of photography.
It's out in select theaters starting this weekend via Janus Films (NY Jan 30, LA Feb 6). I'll be doing in-person Q&As this weekend in New York.
It was selected as the Icelandic entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards and a top 5 international film of the year for 2025 by the National Board of Review.
Here's the trailer:
Synopsis:
Anna, in the midst of a separation, isn't the only one searching for meaning. Her journey juxtaposes that of Magnus, her ex-partner, a fisherman and the father of her three children. Magnus struggles to understand his own feelings.
