Review of" Of Horses and Men  

Film directed by: Benedikt Erlingsson 

Film released: 2013

Summary
Probably the best film ever about people and their horses

Review

Lovely intertwining stories giving a sense of a very rural community where horses are an integral part of life for the inhabitants of the remote valley.

Several separate stories meld together in a satisfying way producing light comedy, romance, drama and a satisfying conclusion.

Excellent photography, great acting by the horses (icelandic semi-feral  ponies) and the humans (seldom have actors looked so at homeon a horse).

Featuring the first appearance of the Colombian touring cyclist who also pops up for light relief in Benedikt Erlingsson's 2018 follow-up film "Woman at War" which is also excellent.

A classic good film, with many things to like and not a foot put wrong. More like this please.
