Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #145. Ninna Pálmadóttir’s Einvera

Einvera (Solitude)

A NYU Tisch grad with a pair of attention-getting shorts under her belt, Ninna Pálmadóttir worked herself into feature film terrain with a screenplay renowned filmmaker Rúnar Rúnarsson. Solitude won the ArteKino International Award for best project of Coproduction Village at Les Arcs Film Festival at the 2021 edition and was showcased as an Out of Comp item in the Works in Progress section at the fest the following year. Produced by Lilja Osk Snorradóttir, the Icelandic filmmaker may keep the working title which sounds like a simple tale of friendship by two people who are far removed in age. Before moving behind the camera, Pálmadóttir was a production assistant on Rams (2018) and some Hollywood items that went to Iceland.

Gist: This chronicles the friendship between an aged farmer who moves to the city for the first time in his life and a paper delivery boy.

Release Date/Prediction: We are predicting a Cannes Film Festival showcase – possibly at the Critic’ Week section.
