A serious fairy tale told with a smile._Woman At War_ is an Icelandic
film that has delighted audiences around the world since it premiered
at the Cannes Film Festival’s Critics Week in 2018 - so much so in
fact - that an English language remake is currently underway with
Jodie Foster directing, co-producing and staring in the project.
Directed by Benedikt Erlingsson (_Of Horses and Men_) and starring
Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, _Woman At War_ follows Halla, a
fifty-year-old independent Icelandic woman and respected choir leader,
who lives a mysterious double life. Known only to the public by her
alias “The Mountain Woman,” Halla is a passionate environmental
activist, secretly waging a one-woman-war on the local aluminium
industry and risking everything to conserve the pristine Icelandic
highlands she loves.
But as her actions grow bolder and her legend grows, an unexpected
letter changes everything – her application to adopt a child has
finally been accepted and there is a little girl waiting for her in
Ukraine. Before she can fulfil her dream of becoming a mother, Halla
plots an attack to deal the mining companies one final crippling blow.
_Woman At War_ has screened at major film festivals both in here and
around the world, and now Australian audiences will have the chance to
see this critically-acclaimed and endearing film in cinemas from
Thursday April 4.
