Lucile Hadžihalolović's fourth feature, 'The Ice Tower', loosely adapts Hans Christian Andersen’s 'The Snow Queen'. The film follows Jeanne, an orphan in 1970s France, who escapes to an ice rink and adopts the identity of a skater named Bianca. She ends up in a film studio where actress Cristina Van Der Berg is filming 'The Snow Queen'. A complex relationship develops between Jeanne and Cristina, exploring themes of maturity, identity, and the influence of older women. The film is noted for its atmospheric style and layered storytelling, though it may frustrate viewers seeking clearer meaning. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
