\"Still<\/a>
Helen<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nI’M READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP<\/B>
\nAlex Fitch talks to the directors of two new films that take as their starting point a character walking through a landscape and twist it into unexpected directions. Bent Hamer is the director of the gentle Norwegian comedy O’Horten<\/em><\/strong>, which tells the tale of a recently retired train driver who gets embroiled in a series of misadventures of the kind Victor Meldrew would be proud of – including having to wear red stilettos after losing his shoes in a locker room and ending up in a car driven by a blind man. Alex Fitch also talks to Christine Molloy, one half of the filmmaking duo Desperate Optimists, about their debut feature Helen<\/em><\/strong>, which concerns a young woman who helps the police with their inquiry into a girl’s disappearance and starts identifying with her.<\/p>\n

Helen<\/strong><\/em> is released in selected UK cinemas on May 1
\nO’Horten<\/strong><\/em> is released in selected UK cinemas on May 8<\/p>\n
