Map of the Human Heart (1992 Vincent Ward)

Ward wrote this original, unique story, screenwritten by Louis Lowra.

Fantastic natural performances from Robert Joamie and Annie Galipeau, and Jason Scott Lee and Anne Parillaud as their older selves.

Unforgettable images, shot by Eduardo Serra - the contrast between ice and fire.

"On Vincent Ward’s Map of the Human Heart (1992), Serra’s camera crew included a young loader named Seamus McGarvey... McGarvey recalls, “Seeing how Eduardo worked [with] his wonderful eye and sensibility showed me a whole different approach to lighting, one that technically — on the face of it — was very simple. He didn’t use a huge amount of light, but he used it very well, and I had never seen that degree of underexposure before. I was a young clapper loader coming out of film school, and his bravery with darkness was a revelation to me.” "
