THE GOOD HEART ICELAND/FRANCE/DENMARK/GERMANY, 95 MINUTES, LA PREMIERE Director: Dagur Kari Producer: Skuli Fr. Malmquist, Thor Sigurjonsson Writer: Dagur Kari Cast: Brian Cox, Paul Dano, Damian Young, Stephanie Szostak, Clark Middleton
Jacques (Brian Cox) is the crusty, misanthropic owner of a grungy dive
located on an even grimier
back street in New York. An epic chain smoker, he knows he has only a
short time left. In the hos-
pital after his fifth coronary, he meets the ultra-meek Lucas (Paul
Dano), a homeless kid who has
pretty much given up on life. Determined to keep his bar going,
Jacques takes Lucas under his
wing and schools him in the decidedly arcane rules he lives by.
Unfortunately for Lucas, Jacques's preferred pedagogical method
consists of yelling, ranting and
throwing stuff. Some of his inviolable rules include no new customers,
no fraternizing with cus-
tomers and, most importantly, no women. Their friendship is put to the
test when the lost and dis-
traught April (Isild Le Besco) shows up at the bar and Lucas insists
they help her out.
