Northern Stars 2009 / Director: Simon Staho
Heaven´s Heart
Two bourgeois Swedish couples find a dinner-party discussion about adultery leads to serious repercussions in Danish helmer Simon Staho’s ”Heaven’s Heart”. Intense four-hander with an all-star cast plays like an update of Ingmar Bergman’s ”Scenes From a Marriage”, laced with Harold Pinter’s ”Betrayal” and a soupcon of Raymond Carver’s ”What We Talk About When We Talk About Love”. Raw emotion, fearless perfs and stylized cinematography, with tightly framed closeups of the characters talking directly to the audience, mark pic as prime fest fare that could attract niche arthouse and broadcast play.
