I have a soft spot for Icelandic composers. Jóhann Jóhannsson really made something special here. I never thought I would see penguins in Super 8 quality combined with music like this. But it popped up on Mubi and I figured "I enjoyed the cinematography of The Lighthouse, this looks nice too". Though it only has the sea and B&W film in common, I really enjoyed this. It's atmospheric and calming. I watched this in bed one afternoon, I fell asleep about 7 minutes in. Had a great nap. Woke up after 20min and rewound to the 7 minute mark and enjoyed the rest of the film. Would recommend for a peaceful afternoon.
