Iceman

Description

Product Description The Ötztal Alps, more than 5300 years ago. A Neolithic clan has settled nearby a creek. It is their leader Kelab's responsibility to be the keeper of the group's holy shrine Tineka. While Kelab is hunting, the settlement is attacked. The members of the tribe are brutally murdered, amongst them Kelab's wife and son, but although his newborn survives, he is missing. Blinded by pain and fury, Kelab is out for one thing alone - vengeance. He sets out after the murderers on what turns into a grand odyssey where he must fight constantly - for the infant's survival; against the immense forces of nature; against hunters he encounters; and, amongst the loneliness of the quest, against a growing sense of doubt over the morality of his mission. Review Filmed with elemental energy and wide-screen pizazz.... --Jeanette Catsoulis, The New York TimesIceman's Neolithic murder mystery and stunning scenery set it apart.... Marked by stunning locations and Jakub Bejnarowicz's fleet, evocative cinematography, Iceman is almost like something unearthed itself: a recognizable B-Western sharpened as much by its glints of psychology as by its kinetic savagery. - Robert Abele, The Los Angeles Times The visual qualities of the film [are] an unusual treat for the eye. With stirring camera work, the imposing natural backdrops are captured in all their glory and the detailed depiction of an archaic life lived between a relentless nature and violent fellow human beings is fascinating to take in. --Ali Naderzad, Screen Comment[A]ll the rugged scenery and relentless drive of a classic western quest.... --Alan Hunter, Screen Daily
