As Baltasar Kormákur’s ‘Touch’ Becomes No. 1 Movie In Iceland This Year, Filmmaker Reflects On Juggling And Merging Hollywood & European Perspectives
Baltasar Kormakur is at the Taormina Film Festival with 'Touch,' and he talks about that pic, working in Hollywood and much more in an interview.
The film follows widower Kristofer (Egil Ólafsson), who, after receiving an early-stage dementia diagnosis at the outset of the Covid pandemic, leaves behind his Reykjavik home hoping to solve the greatest mystery of his life. As panic about the virus spreads around the world, Kristofer sets out to find his soulmate, resolving to follow her trail wherever it might lead— even back to Miko’s birthplace of Hiroshima — before his memories are lost forever in time. In Taormina, Kormakur told Deadline of Jeremy Robbins’ original script, “I haven’t seen anything like this in a long time.” He’s also been a fan of Theron who he calls “bold” and “one of the greatest actors of our time.”
