Obscure from the beginning, Iceberg tells a rather odd story of Fiona (Fiona Gordon), a Belgian fast food outlet manager who is locked in a walk-in fridge overnight. From this experience stems her desire for all things icy, and her eventual madcap journey to an icecap.

Written and directed by the two gangly leads, with the assistance of French filmmaker Romy, Iceberg will delight and entertain all fans of slapstick and physical theatre. There's a lot of frenetic rushing about, some intriguing characters and a lot of water as Fiona goes on her search for love, affection and ice.

Her journey takes her in a frozen freight truck to a port, where the grey-haired inhabitants inexplicably all shuffle together en masse. Having lived with the rather eccentric town folk, Fiona then sets off on her quest to conquer the sea. A mute sailor René (who lost his entire family in an accident involving his sister and a box of matches) assists Fiona in his tiny boat le Titantique, with Fiona's husband, Julien (Dominique Abel) in hot pursuit. What follows can only be described as one of the most absurd sea journeys in celluloid history.

In real life the two leads Abel and Gordon are based in an old pram factory in Brussels. They've been creating visual comedy together for over seventeen years touring the world and developing their physical skills. They are mirror images of each other, their gangly limbs and clown like facial expressions the very essence of buffoonery. In the tradition of the old silent films, their debut film is almost without dialogue but not without expression or emotion.

Through the nature of the sketches is apparent that this film is the product of a theatrical style preparation. Many of the sequences were born of improvisation, and all of the cast (save for the leads) are either amateurs or film students. However, Iceberg is anything but amateur. Confident clowning of Abel and Gordon's standard requires years of practise and experience.

Iceberg is movie to capture the imagination and take the viewer back to simpler, childlike times. See it with an open mind and be ready to giggle.
