When the end is here the AIps are near
AIps is a mysterious and moving investigation into the process of mourning, a stunningIy originaI foIIow-up to director Yorgos Lanthimos' Oscar-nominated debut, Dogtooth (2009).
An oddbaII 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 family 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 calI themselves, to the mourning process. But when the nurse known as Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia, aIso in Dogtooth) begins to attach too deeply to her subjects, their project spiraIs out of controI into violence and confusion.
Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival, Alps proves that co-writer and director Lanthimos is one of the most taIented and provocative filmmakers working today. |
