In Winter
In the solitude of ice lies the heat of passion.
In Winter is a new 2017 independent feature emerging from the classical European tradition, presented in a timeless North American context. Shot entirely on location in northern Minnesota, we join Annika, a stoic and solitary young woman facing difficult circumstances and living in the barren human landscape of a small working class town in mid-winter.
Written and directed by Alexander Gutterman, In Winter is a stark, minimalist and tragic art film with an austere aesthetic in the tradition of Bergman, Von Trier and Tarr. It is the story of an isolated woman whose world begins to broaden, and of a man who is slowly drawn into cold solitude as his narrows. It is also a story in which carnal intimacies counterpoint with spiritual refrain.
“Co-directors Aboubacar M. Camara and Alexander Gutterman have made a masterpiece of a film. IN WINTER is a true unseen gem of a film and recommended.” – Unseen Films
