SICC Screening #58 - The love that remains @ Bio Bristol

On Wednesday 3rd June, we return to Bio Bristol in Sundbyberg for a special screening of one of the most acclaimed Nordic films of the year: "The Love That Remains", the latest work from Icelandic filmmaker Hlynur Pálmason ("Godland").

As always, the film will be shown with English subtitles, and we’ll gather afterwards in Bristol’s welcoming café bar to meet, connect, and share reflections on the film together.

About the Film:
"The Love That Remains" follows a family in rural Iceland as a marriage quietly unravels over the course of a year. Through intimate everyday moments, strange incidents, and flashes of surreal humour, the film captures the lingering bonds between parents and children as they try to navigate separation, memory, and the rhythms of ordinary life. Set against Iceland’s stark and beautiful landscapes, the film unfolds less as a conventional drama than as a series of emotional fragments shaped by time, nature, and changing seasons.

With his signature visual precision and emotional restraint, Hlynur Pálmason creates what critics have described as a deeply human and “rapturous” portrait of family life in transition, and one of the most distinctive Nordic films of the year. The film has been widely praised for its striking 35mm cinematography, understated performances, and a delicate and unique delicate balance of melancholy, absurdity, and warmth.

Premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, "The Love That Remains" quickly established itself as a major success on the international festival circuit, where it received widespread acclaim for its poetic storytelling and intimate scale. Tender, funny, and deeply touching, the film confirms Pálmason’s place as one of the most singular and visionary filmmakers working in contemporary European cinema.
