There are at least six movies and two series entitled "Touch" or "The Touch", so the title of this post specifies that I'm referring to the Icelandic movie released in 2024.
"Based on the Icelandic best-selling novel by Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson, Touch is a romantic story that spans several decades and continents. Touch follows one widower’s emotional journey to find his first love who disappeared 50 years ago, before his time runs out."
This is easily the best movie I've watched in the past year. The acting is superb, the cinematography beautiful, the storyline intriguing and ultimately satisfying. It is currently streaming on Prime, probably with ads; I watched it without ads on Apple+TV. The DVD is not in our library system yet.
This film was chosen as the Icelandic entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, coming up in March of this year. It has been shortlisted for that honor.
