A nurse, a paramedic, a gymnast and her coach have formed a service for hire. They stand in for dead people by appointment, hired by the relatives, friends or colleagues of the deceased. The company is called Alps, lead by the demanding disciplinarian Mount Blanc. However Mount Rose, the nurse, fails to live up to his exacting standards and her behaviour with clients becomes increasingly erratic. (Curzon Artificial Eye)

Another very weird film (see the previous one by the director, Dogtooth), but this time, unfortunately, in an utterly uninteresting way.

Yorgos Lanthimos certainly brings a certain refreshment to world cinema with his work. His films by no means suffer from a lack of originality, but they sometimes find their way to the viewer in a rather convoluted way. That's exactly how I feel about Alps. The theme is very novel, inviting us to think about how we actually live, and what is important to us... The reporting itself, however, did not quite sit right with me. Maybe because for a long time I was unable to understand what it was all about. I was also quite irritated by the machine-learned dialogue when trying to identify with a recently deceased person. I'm leaning toward three stars for the film’s imaginative nature, although I had originally intended to only give two. (55%)
