Fíaskó (2000)
The worst Icelandic film so far...
I was really very disappointed. Boring, confusing, not funny.
I have seen much better movies of the similar principle like Fiasko wanted to be. (Much better is for example Swedish film Tic-Tac or Czech Knoflikari). This film had some good scenes but very few. It was like from today's Reykjavik, stories of three people which were connected just by chance. It was too weird.
It is really very bad film. But I understand it. I've seen like ten Icelandic films so far and every of them was really great. It's impossible to produce just good films... So in general, I do recommend Icelandic cinematography!
Ungfrúin góða og húsið (1999)
It's pretty good film
It's not very usual that a daughter or son of some artist has a great talent in a similar thing like his/her parent had. But it happened to the sister of Halldor Laxness, Nobel laureate from Iceland. The story is very good, however, it was based on Laxness' novel.
I saw better Icelandic films but again. I wasn't disappointed. Actually I was pretty surprised,it is not just a good film as the guy before me thinks.
I RECOMMEND ICELANDIC FILMS, including Honour of the House
Englar alheimsins (2000)
Icelandic cinematography: THE BEST !!!
This film very succeed in the Film festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech rep. Logically. It' s based on a very good book, excellent actors, good camera, the best director and ICELANDIC. It was probably the most black comedy I've seen.
I really DO recommend it to you.
