The translation of the film is provided in your audio headphones* in Latvian, Russian. "Silver Bear" for an outstanding artistic achievement. The visually stunning "Ice Tower" is cinematic hypnosis: a frosty, calm tale twisted from ice, light and mystery, and in Marion Cotija enchants the viewer as an ice fairy from Scandinavian legends. Young girls have no place on the filming area. Especially sensitive and vulnerable.Even if it is a famous fairy tale filming with luxurious decorations and Hollywood stars.
After all, when the border between reality and dreams, life and fiction is demolished, the carriage may turn out to be a pumpkin, and the charming prince will turn into a frog. French Alps, the 1970s.
On Christmas Eve, Jeanne decides to change her destiny and goes to the neighboring city. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to find a refuge, the girl gets ... The fairy tale "Snow Queen" on the reception area.
The atmosphere of the pavilion frost, flood -flooding pitched pitched snowstorms, the glittering ice tower in a silver fog.
Among these delightful scenery is a melancholy slip -up, mysterious cinema diva: a cold and flawless glittering white dress with a crown covered with crystals.
Kristine van der Berg is portraying the Snow Queen, but in reality she has nothing to do - she just is: inaccessible and majestic, swinging everyone with her icy look.
A strange, frightening and tempting world fascinates the dreamy Jeanne. Not only has her cinema to be sheltered, but also magical. The girl feels as if she had come to the fairy tale, especially after the Almighty Kristin suddenly draws her attention, choosing her as her dubs on the filming area.
They have something elusive, something that calls into question the randomness of what is happening. Between the actress and the statistics are alarming - tense, hypnotic and dangerous. Underneath the icy fairy tale seems to be the abyss, and their relationship is the fragile ice above it.
As if the mirror of one soul was reflected in the quiet depths of the other soul.
The film shooting area turns into a mysterious maze, and the only way out of it is to find answers to many questions: what do Jeanne are looking for? And why do Kristin need this friendship? The "Ice Tower" creates a strange, disturbing magic that does not expand with the closing titles, on the contrary, it becomes more and more powerful every hour. Just as it comes to a real spell.
It is a sophisticated, dazzling stylization in which the fairy tale becomes a mirror of the inner maturity of the heroine. This movie is a meditative, stunning silence full, created for those who are able to watch leisurely and feel deep
The film is shot in Cinemascope, which gives a special dramatism for leisurely close -ups. The soundtrack reinforces the hypnotic charm by turning events into a real dream.
Cold and gorgeous, like winter itself, the "Ice Tower" is the purest art cinema, frozen between the 20th century. In the seventies and eternity. Tale of the power of the image, temptation, secret injuries and the magic of cinema as a last refuge.
And if you are ready to sink into a trance, if the cinema is not just a story but a dream breath, then the "Ice Tower" will give you a rare, almost magical experience.
