Overview
In a remote Icelandic town, an off duty police chief begins to suspect a local man to have had an affair with his wife, who has recently died in a car accident. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth accumulates and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. A story of grief, revenge and unconditional love.
This was a bit of an odd movie for me. I loved so many things about it: the scenery, the main characters, the premise, etc. It is an extremely slow-developing film and I have a feeling that the pace will turn off a lot of viewers. The movie demands patience and I think the final scenes are a worthwhile reward for the viewer’s patience. I wanted to like it more than I did but I’d still consider it a good movie.
