L’Iceberg

Director: Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, & Bruno Romy

2005. Belgium. 84 mins


This vigorous Belgian comedy stars Fiona Gordon as an efficient and conscientious manager of a fast food store. One evening she locks herself in the freezer room by a mistake. She valiantly finds a way through the ordeal and is rescued in the morning by other employees. Proud of her capacity to adapt and survive, Fiona is irked that her husband, Julien (Dominique Abel), and two kids haven’t even caught on to the fact that she was missing all evening. Realizing that she has nothing to lose, she set out on a quest to find an iceberg, leaping into a frozen goods truck and setting off on her own bizarre grand adventure. This eccentric comedy is written and directed by Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, and Bruno Romy. There are quite a number of wonderful slapstick sequences that reflect the artistic team’s background in the theater and circus. Fiona’s loss is also her gain, and we travel in perfect circle with the delightful finale of Iceberg.
