Hlynur Pálmason's Vanskabte Land / Volaða Land (Godland) is mysterious and haunting, but mostly it’s gorgeous. The images we get of Iceland are stunning. The main character is… horrible, but the movie makes fun of him in intriguing comic ways. It’s actually quite a funny film. That feels like a weird thing to say about a movie that is so troubling, but it’s true. Also I adored Ingvar Sigurðsson in this.
As far as I know this is only playing on the Criterion Channel at the moment. It's a must-see.
