Part of Cinema Explorations, a wintertime community-curated film series. Free and open to the public.This Icelandic film from Baltasar Kormákur made the shortlist in the 2025 Best International Feature Film Oscar competition. It tells a romantic and thrilling story that spans several decades, three countries, two oceans, and a world war. Kristófer is an aging and ailing widower who decides to devote his dwindling lifespan retracing the steps of his youth working in a restaurant to find his first love who disappeared from his life 50 years earlier. That is just the starting point for his journey.
“Touch rekindles a treacly genre that I didn’t realize I missed. Its tender performances and gut-punch reveals are classic tear-jerker ingredients. Add to this a natural, inordinately sensitive approach to intercultural love—mercifully, without a sense of righteousness or obligation.”—Beatrice Loayza, New York Times.
In English and in Icelandic and Japanese with English subtitles.
