| Synopsis
Fiona is the manager of a fast-food restaurant. She lives comfortably with her family in the suburbs. In other words, Fiona is happy. Until the day she accidentally gets locked into a walk-in freezer. She escapes the next morning, half frozen and barely alive, only to realize that her husband and two children didn't even notice she was missing. But when Fiona develops an obsession for everything cold and icy - snow, polar bears, refrigerators, icebergs - she drops everything, climbs into a frozen goods delivery truck and leaves home. For a real iceberg. Reviews "Comedic genius, magnificently choreographed! TWO THUMBS UP!"- Ebert & Roeper "Rambunctiously funny and enchanting! It is to die and go to heaven – or at least the North Pole – for!" - New York Magazine "Critic’s Pick! Earns two adjectives that rarely go together: breezy and bold!" - New York Times "Try not to avoid this ‘Iceberg’ – a cool way to take your mind off climate change!" "Irreverent, off-center humor. A sly, winsome tale!" - TV Guide "A riot! Quirky, funny and ultimately loveable!" - Miami Herald "Sublime humor and beauty. Funny, spontaneous, exquisite!" - Box Office Magazine "Wonderful slapstick sequences...delightful!" - Spirituality and Health Magazine "Uniquely and imaginatively crafted. Most unusual!" - WBAI Radio Links See details about this film's theatrical run. Watch the Ebert & Roeper video review of L'Iceberg L'Iceberg made Indiewire's list for Best First Film of 2007.
