101 REYKJAVIK (2000)
Certification18 Our Rating
Himir lives at 101 Reykjavik and though fast approaching thirty he has yet to leave the comfort of his mothers home or indeed the ease of social security, but the arrival of his mother's lesbian lover and impending fatherhood are about to put a sizable spanner in his hopes for eternal slackerdom. 101 Reykjavik is a quirky and hipply hedonistic black comedy, driven along by some pretty twisted premises and a central character who is an irredeemable and apathetic git pretty much to the end. find out more...

I went to see Arctic for only one reason: Mads Mikkelsen. I could be called a fangirl, to be honest, I don't mind. He has an incredible skill and even better personality (or at least "public personality"). He is humble and gives his whole heart to each project he participates in. No matter if it's a small film by an unknown director or a huge blockbuster from Marvel or Star Wars franchise. And when you hear him talking about it, the perception changes completely.

Certification15 Our Rating
An updated (and somewhat revised) version of the Anglo-Saxon legend with Beowulf coming to the aid of his friend and ally King Hrothgar whose kingdom is under siege from the maurading troll, Grendel. An entertaining tale of vengeance, loyalty and mercy whose use of real locations and unadulterated actors may well offer a more satisfying experience for those viewers disillusioned by the CGI-laden extravaganza Beowulf. find out more...

Trapped in a small town by the harsh environment of Iceland's snow swept hinterland the young lad dreams of escape, but his eccentric and relentlessly disastrous attempts to break away only enforce the community's suspiscions that he's not just weird, but simple.
