A Little Trip to Heaven
2005 · Movie · 98 min. · Iceland
Set in the early eighties at the height of the Reagan Revolution, the film follows insurance investigator Holt (Whitaker) as he travels to Hastings, a dreary, dying town in northern Minnesota. He’s there to confirm the death of notorious scam artist Kelvin Anderson, allegedly killed in a car crash en route to visit his sister Isold (Stiles). Despite the local cops’ conviction that the corpse is definitely Kelvin, Holt isn’t so sure. For one thing, the body’s been burned to a crisp, making identification impossible. Then there’s the odd behaviour of skittish Isold and her sleazy husband Fred (Renner).
