"No Such Thing"
2001
Directed by Hal Hartley

A monster movie from Hal Hartley? Perhaps, but the real monster isn't the ancient creature played by Robert John Burke. Hartley's film makes it clear that the truly fearsome beast is the modern day media. Sarah Polley plays a TV journalist who brings the immortal Icelandic beast back to New York, where the spotlight shines too brightly. Helen Mirren is Polley's ruthless boss and Julie Christie is a sympathetic doctor. Hartley's most unusual spin on Beauty and the Beast was also an unusual co-production, filmed partly in Iceland with the assistance of the Icelandic Film Corporation and producer Fridrik Thor Fridriksson (Devil's Island). Francis Ford Coppola served as one of the executive producers.  103 minutes.
