“It’s an accomplished, ambitious work which has a Herzogian fascination with vast, unforgiving landscapes, hubris and madness.”~Wendy Ide, Screen Daily

Aroview: A masterly work of slow cinema from Iceland, inspired by 19th-Century period photography in both narrative and style, and the contemporary influence of Werner Herzog.

Elliott Crosset Hove plays a Danish priest and photographer sent on a god-awful mission to establish a parish on the far side of unforgiving Icelandic terrain – the journey weakening his faith and mental resolve and helped none by the challenges of the language barrier. Fans of Scandi cinema won't want to miss this serious attempt to put a frame around pioneering history.
