Synopsis
"A story of feuding neighbours with the emphasis on the neigh, 'Of Horses and Men' is a filly's-eye view of human folly from Icelandic writer/director Benedikt Erlingsson that's both hysterically funny and oddly moving" - Emma Simmonds, Little White Lies.
A huge success at festivals round the world, this comedy drama takes us into a small community of horse breeders in a vast valley where all human life revolves around their horses and where the horses are happier than the humans.
Critics
Hugely enjoyable tale set in the wilds of Iceland, as romance between humans is kindled by a bond with horses
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
If you want to see the year's most original, comedic and shocking film all rolled into one, look no further than this feature from Iceland.
