Movie critics often cite Agust Gudmundsson’s Land and Sons(Land og synir) as the origination point of contemporary Icelandic cinema. It was based on Indridi G. Thorsteinsson’s novel (father of renowned crime-fiction writer Arnaldur Indridason). It’s a story about a generation of weary farmers dwelling in a remote valley north of Iceland. The film d...
Agust Gudmundsson, who scored domestic box-office hits and international acclaim with the films Land and Sons (1980) &Outlaw: The Saga of Gisli (1981), ventured into a comedy genre with On Top. This widely popular Icelandic musical comedy revolves around two rival bands – one all-male and one all-female – who compete with each other from town to to...
Hrafn Gunnlaugsson wanted to make an authentic Viking-era movie in order to counter the insipid Hollywood stereotypes. Swedish producers Bo Jonsson and Gunnlaugsson wrote the story, which was predominantly inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, John Ford’s The Searchers, and the sagas of early Icelanders. Known as the Icelandic film industry’s first...
Nietzchka Keene’s self-funded feature is an adaptation as well as a feminist re-imagining of the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale. It marks the acting debut of Icelandic pop star Bjork. Set in the medieval era and shot in spellbindingly stark black-and-white, Juniper Treeis a coming-of-age tale of a young woman named Margit (Bjork), whose mother is murde...
The 1980s Iceland movies were largely inspired by home-grown mythical tales & sagas. Moreover, these films were made for Icelanders. However, in the 1990s new generation of filmmakers deeply contemplated their nation’s social themes yet injected universal emotions to resonate with film lovers around the world. In that way, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson’...
While guns set up narrative conflicts in Hollywood films, a missing remote control drives this tale of Reykjavik’s underworld. Oskar Jonsson’s debut feature, Remote Control (Sódóma Reykjavík), revolves around young mechanic Axel (Bjorn Jorundur Fridbjornsson), his mother, and his hard-partying sister Maeja. Axel goes on to retrieve the TV remote fo...
Fridrik Thor Fridriksson’s fourth feature film has an enchanting transnational narrative. American indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch was invited (in the early 90s) for the screening of his brilliant anecdotal comedy Mystery Train(1989) at the Reykjavik Film Festival. Producer Jim Stark made the visit on Jarmusch’s behalf. When Fridriksson and Mr. Stark ...
Fridrik Thor Fridriksson follows up Children of Nature & Cold Feverwith yet another good, wry comedy based on Einar Gudmundsson’s novel. The film is set in the 1950s in the squalid premises of Reykjavik. Renowned Iceland director Baltasar Koramkur plays rebellious Baddi, whose mother has left him and his introverted brother Danni for an American so...
Baltasar Kormakur’s crowd-pleasing black comedy doesn’t have any particularly likable characters. Protagonist Hlynur (Hilmir Snaer Gudnason) is a man-child who sleeps, drinks, rummages through porn collection, and engages in meaningless relationships with several women. Slacker would be too simple a word to describe his existence. His bleak, hopele...
Based on author Einar Gudmundsson’s novel, Fridriksson’s visually impressive life-affirming feature tells the story of a thirty-something Icelandic artist with mental health problems. Paul (Ingvart E. Sigurdsson) is an unsuccessful painter who lives with his parents after experiencing unbearable rejection from his girlfriend, Dagny. Since Paul’s in...
