Benedikt Erlingsson

Director

Icelandic film director, actor and playwright (born 1969). Best known internationally for Of Horses and Men (2013) and Woman at War (2018).

Directed Woman at War (2018), starring Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir; Woman at War is a Franco‑Icelandic‑Ukrainian production. Of Horses and Men (2013) is another widely recognized film by Erlingsson.

The single review praises Benedikt Erlingsson's film (La donna elettrica / Woman at War, 2018) for its moral density, visual beauty and humanism. It highlights a strong middle-aged female protagonist played by Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir and treats the film as contemporary yet timeless. The reviewer notes themes of individual responsibility versus the collective and resistance to globalization.

For:Arthouse film viewers, fans of Icelandic cinema, readers interested in moral and environmental themes

 I find it difficult to decide where to start when talking about this film, given the density of symbols it contains that deserve attention.
