Film at Lincoln Center | Julia Loktev and Hani Furstenberg on The Loneliest Planet @filmlinc | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
Director Julia Loktev and lead actress Hani Furstenberg discuss The Loneliest Planet at the 49th New York Film Festival in 2011.

Acclaimed artist and filmmaker Julia Loktev returns behind the camera with her second fiction feature, an intimate relationship film starring Gael García Bernal and Hani Furstenberg as young fiancés backpacking through the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. The two characters are joined by a mountaineer (Bidzina Gujabidze), forming a trio that quietly treks across dramatic landscapes, where there is just as much said as left unsaid. Loktev dramatically expands her scope with The Loneliest Planet and in the gorgeously filmed mountains has found the perfect setting for isolated, at times suffocating drama.

The conversation was moderated by Richard Peña.
