8/10
Interesting approach
8 May 2003
An erotic tale with a difference. Set in Icelandic wastelands and Australian outback, a man and a woman...two people thousands of miles apart who will never know each other. Both seek answers to their lonely existence. The contrasting scenes of the bitter northern snows and the southern red thirsty dusty earth make very interesting viewing.

The woman snaps a long icicle hanging from an eave and sets about sucking the end thus fashioning it into the shape of a male member. She masturbates gently with this long rod, water dripping from her hot body.The photography is worth noting. The back-lighting on the transparent icicle is beautiful.

At this very moment the man in Australia is standing naked on blocks of ice carefully arranged below his feet, his neck entwined by a noose hanging from the rafter of his lonely homestead. Again we get the drip..drip...drip of the water from the ice until his feet are left swinging.

Not a happy film to be sure, but it is one endowed with beauty in every scene. It's an ingenious script, not to be analysed too closely and yet offering many interpretations. It is a visual experience. No dialogue. Worth watching for its original settings and icy close-ups.
