A beautiful film set in the future, a tale of impending divorce for a young couple who manage to rediscover their love. Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and Claire Danes (ROMEO+JULIET) play John and Elena who agree to meet up one last time to finalise their divorce. He must meet his world-famous figure-skating wife in a futuristic Manhattan, and accompanies her for a skating premiere, before signing the papers, and then she asks for his help. Sean Penn (MYSTIC RIVER) plays John's brother who's always trying to call him, and all the while the second Ice Age is drawing ever closer, in parts of the world gravity is beginning to fail and dead bodies of the unburied litter the streets. FESTEN director Thomas Vinterberg has created a beautiful, thought-provoking film.

Odd sci-fi
A man thinking that divorcing his wife will simply be the formality of getting her to sign the papers, gets entangled in a sinister plot, when he is drawn into ... read more »
Good news! Joaquin Phoenix hasn’t lost his mind. He isn’t hooked on hard drugs (as far as we know). And he isn’t about to give up acting for hip-hop. He’s only joking. That’s my conclusion after belatedly watching the star’s notorious appearance with David Letterman on The Tonight Show last month in its entirety. Like most of us, I had assumed the worst when I read the headlines the morning after the late night broadcast and saw brief clips of the lowlights... Read more
