101 Reykjavík (2000)

Halló!

The second leg of Rob and Ellie's journey through the cinema of Iceland finds them in the capital city, for powerhouse director Baltasar Kormákur's debut film, 101 Reykjavík.

The first Icelandic film of the 21st century sets the buzzing, drunken nightlife of the capital against the wilderness and solitary life to be found in the rest of the country.

With music by Damon Albarn and a new way of approaching Icelandic stories, Everest and 2 Guns director Kormákur presents a 'cool' look at modern-day Iceland (in the year 2000!)
