Atlar ve İnsanlar’ı de atlar ve insanlar üzerine bir film diye düşünmek yanlış olur. Bu filmde bir atın her uzvunu ve çeşitli hallerini yakinen göreceğiz, ama esas baktığımız insanın düştüğü trajikomik durumlar olacak her zaman. Bir nevi fıkralar toplamı ya da Protestanlar için komikli ibretlik öyküler... Tabii atların hakkını da vermek lazım, çünkü çok güzeller. Bu İzlanda filmini at-severlerin ve kendisiyle-tatlı-tatlı-dalga-geçen-Kuzey-Avrupa-insanı-severlerin kaçırmamasını öneriyoruz.

Atlar ve insanlar

Post-war provincial Iceland: around 1950, Freyja, who'd been a plump teen, returns from America, a widow with a 20-inch waist, seven suitcases of dresses, and a list of who ever wronged or slighted her. She moves in with an aunt and socialist uncle: finding a new husband is high on her agenda, and she's mistrusted by Agga, a pre-teen who's our eyes and ears. The social order and Freyja are more complicated than they seem at first, and so may be her prospects. Class divisions, families ties, pride, the onset of puberty, and the power of Eros sliver the ice.
