DRIVING MUM (12)

Director: Hilmar Oddsson/Estonia,Iceland/2022/112mins/subtitles

Jón spends his days knitting and listening to the radio with his domineering elderly mother on their rural Icelandic farmstead. With his isolated life constrained by looking after his mother’s needs, his world is upended when she suddenly passes away. But having left him a series of instructions to follow upon her death, Jón sets out on a journey across Iceland to honour her final wishes – including being buried in her home village. “A pitch-perfect film, a pure delight” -Sarah Kent, The Arts Desk.
