| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...it's almost impossible work up any enthusiasm for the foibles of the various characters thanks to an emphasis on eye-rolling instances of quirkiness and melodrama. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongThe films uneasy shifts in tone disrupt the sense of rhythm needed for the comic elements to work. |
| User ReviewSarah Bfound this one fascinating - although perhaps because it was a very adult movie in my child-centric personal life. interesting look at perspectives on life, love, pleasing others, marriage, family. |
| User ReviewRyan BScrewball comedy, Icelandic-style. It's not a perfect film, but it's original, entertaining and unlike most romantic comedies, it's not completely predictable. Makes Iceland look a beautiful vacation spot, if not a great place to get married. |
| User ReviewJenny SEn härlig fin isländsk film som varmt rekommenderas! |
| User ReviewDavid SOne of the most absurdly comedic films I have seen in a long time! You just come out of it thinking, "blimey everyone in Iceland is nuts!" The story is told in present time, but then we get flashbacks of the main character's life from a year ago, too. They both have strong storylines, and because a degree of mystery is held within the flash backs (what happened to the first wife) it keeps you interested all the way through. Not that it wouldn't anyway, because the characters and their zany ideas and habits keep you thoroughly entertained as the story rolls along. Jon is getting married again but he doesn't seem too happy about it, but his bride-to-be - one of his former students and a lot younger than he is - adores him and can't wait for the wedding. Her parents - battleaxe mother and drunken opera lover dad - want what's best for their daughter, but the mother in particular doesn't like Jon because he owes the family a lot of money from a ridiculous golf resort venture (very funny). His friend and best man/organist for the wedding shows up on the island where they live, and there's time for a bit of drunken play and antics before the wedding the next day. Coupled with the extremely odd residents of the island (the shopkeeper is JUST like the hypochondriac shop worker in Amelie!) it all leads to one riot after the other. There were some really funny scenes, mainly connected to Jon's best friend Lars, and the vicar of the island who was BRILLIANT, and definitely my favourite character. I love how pissed off he gets at the wedding, has to apologise to God for being angry, and then goes outside to find it's 'raining money' and whoops about trying to catch it all! hee hee. And the operatic dad was also amazing! He has so much contempt for his wife but it's humourous, and the part where he gets really drunk and wades into the sea belting out an aria is priceless! At times it really reminded me of a Greek or a Roman comedy: based around the family archetype/group of drunken men and the humour very farcical. They sure as hell drink a lot of spirits over in Iceland! Loved the ending scene where they all chase after the absconded groom and they have to get married in the middle of the sea and hoist the vicar over on people's shoulders so he can perform the rights! (I want a wedding in the sea!!) I was a bit disappointed we didn't get more of the beautiful landscapes referred to in the blurb: the island it was filmed on seemed quite a desolate place, but I loved the thought of it not ever getting dark on one night of the year, and how that must really screw with your body and mind - hence why all the drama and craziness and the wedding MUST happen on this day and no other! Such a fun film to watch, and even though the underlying message is actually quite despondent and depressing compared to the energy and laughter of the story, you still come out of it with a big smile on your face. Fingers crossed for the Oscar nominations! |
| User ReviewDavid BBeautifully shot, well acted and one of the very rare films which are able to fuse light comedy with a strand of genuine darkness. Surprising and delightful. |
| User ReviewSerdar CI had to see this one after loving the director's previous movie "Myrin". I loved this one even more! Great script and characters, fantastic performances from the actors and excellent directing by Baltasar Kormákur who is slowly making his way to my favoritte list. The movie takes place in a beautiful Icelandic island. The director once more uses the location perfectly and makes it one of the characters. A middle aged professor comes to this little island to save his troubled marriage but he fails to do it. He meets one of his students on the island and they decide to marry even though the girl is 18 years younger. A very dark comedy full of colourful characters and another great movie coming from cold and beautiful Iceland. |
| User ReviewJohn OI saw this Icelandic version of Chekhov's "Ivanov" at Scandinavia House - not great but worth a look. |
| User ReviewPetra RBaltasar Komakur's weakest film yet, the second half of this Icelandic film is compelling enough to make it rise above mediocrity. |
