About this Event
Stafford Film Theatre: Driving Mum
DRIVING MUM
Hilmar Oddson / Iceland, Estonia 2022 / 113 min / Cert 12 / subtitles
Middle-aged and disappointed, Jón, spends his days knitting and listening to the radio with his domineering, elderly mother, on their rural Icelandic farmstead. With his life overtaken with looking after his home and his mother's needs, Jón's isolated world is upended when she suddenly dies. 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. Strapping her into his Ford Cortina, and with the beloved family dog Brezhnev in tow, he sets off on his strange odyssey. With his late mum still nagging him from the back seat, he meets a variety of peculiar and charming strangers en route, and encounters some ghosts from his past too.
