A White, White Day
Iceland 2019, 109 minutes
Dir. Hlynur Pálmason
In Icelandic with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama, Suspense/Crime
Feat. Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson, Ida Mekkin Hlynsdottir, Hilmir Snaer Gudnason, Sara Dogg Asgeirsdottir
“As darkly comic as it is foreboding, and boasting an outrageously rich and nuanced central performance from the great Icelandic actor Ingvar Sigurdsson.”
Aroview: Aesthetically striking Icelandic drama which plunges the viewer deep into the psyche of a tortured former police officer who suspects a neighbour might have been having an affair with his now deceased wife.
Director Hlynur Pálmason employs the extreme weather conditions of the far North to create an elemental psychological portrait exploring grief, jealousy and masculinity, beautifully paced and with an expertly sustained tension throughout.

4 stars (Very Good) Great acting & style. I went to Hofn, SE Iceland, where the house is, & Oddasskard, further east, before the road came. 'House' built as telco centre 1992 but as landlines removed, bought by Hofn-born Dir. as an Arts Centre. Mist from nearby Gulf Stream ~Anon
4 stars (Very Good) The freshness of the screenplay is aided by the shooting locations. The best scenes are between grandfather and granddaughter and young Ída Mekkín Hlynsdóttir's performance is outstanding. ~Tubbs
