Alps – review

Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos goes off piste, plunging us into a landscape that is not steep and snowy but flat and black in this spendidly icy picture.

It's all too easy to get lost in Alps, a deadpan, absurdist ghost story of sorts from the ingenious Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos. Even the title is a bit of a decoy. No sooner have the lights dimmed than we are pitched, without a map, into a landscape that is not steep and snowy but flat and black. But follow the film-maker. Let him lead you by the nose. Lanthimos knows exactly where he's going. (...)

With 2009's acclaimed Dogtooth, Lanthimos earned a reputation as the laughing mortician of contemporary Greek culture. This splendidly icy, opaque picture goes further still, showing a world nudged off its axis and an emotional topography where the signposts are backwards and the satnav scrambled. Lanthimos has a habit of shooting his characters from behind, or half out of frame, keeping them mysterious and unknowable, while their listless reading of rehearsed lines walks the line between comical and creepy.

Pity poor Nurse. She takes her work too seriously. She longs to be the daughter that was, the lover gone before, and her vertiginous descent comes loaded with troubling implications. The human race, Alps argues, is predominantly made up of bad actors, searching desperately for a part to play, a space to fill, a hole to slot into. Small wonder Nurse wants to mimic the dead. The role has already been road-tested and the grave is the most natural, neatest-fitting hole of all.
