Which I hated by the way due to the shaky camera. But I thought this one was captivating and interesting. I especially liked that it was different from your typical film. It focused on an apparently flawed protagonist and his even more flawed fiance, who was wonderful in some ways too. Perhaps that was about our true selves conflicting with the roles of modern society? Anyway, conflict ensues. (why am I in iceland? what is there to do here? why not go off with some stranger associated with the people who may have robbed me last night? what could happen?) Maybe it's a bit like Date Night. Anyway, I loved the ambiguity of the message and the apparent dilemna of the hero. Did he win or lose? Is he happy or sad? And what is the big deal about waterfalls?
