Islands

...bubbles with intangible intrigue and mystery, some of it sexual, some of it sensual, notes of loneliness, self-deception and the desperate need for connection in an unfulfilled life.

A gripping tennis noir that feels like ‘Challengers’ by way of Patricia Highsmith.

...sexual tension and dangerously polite encounters.

Jan-Olé Gerster combines Hitchcockian thrills with a seductive European sensibility against an all-inclusive Canary Islands resort in his English language debut.

...feels alluringly disorienting, like walking in a hazy stupor inside an enticing purgatory—captured in all its oppressive brightness by cinematographer Juan Sarmiento G.
