Summary
Halló! Things get musical in week four of Rob and Ellie's second journey through the films of Iceland. Subtitled 'The Basement Tapes of Sigríður Níelsdóttir', this documentary sheds light on the wonderful low-key musical life of a 70-year old lady living in a basement flat in Reykjavik. Charming and sweet, 'Grandma Lo-Fi' shows how Sigríður made her music and explores the influence she had on the Icelandic music scene. Directed by Jónsi's sister in collaboration with others, this film also features contributions from FM Belfast, Múm and Hildur Guðnadóttir.

Under The Tree (2017) aka Undir trénu
Release Date: 06/21/2021
Description: Halló! And so on the summer solstice Rob and Ellie celebrate the final leg of their first journey through Icelandic cinema with some sun-based neighbour rage! In the suburbs of Reykjavík, things heat up between two families as a garden tree prevents some sun-bathing. It may not sound like much, but this is cause for some of the most outrageous drama seen this series! Starring some familiar faces (Þorsteinn Bachmann, Lára Jóhanna Jónsdóttir and Sigurður Sigurjónsson), some deeply dark humour, and no snow AT ALL (!), this is Fargo levels of spiralling...

Noi The Albino (2003) aka Nói albinói
Release Date: 10/18/2021
Description: Halló! For the third week of Rob and Ellie's second journey through Icelandic cinema, they remain in the Westfjords. And this time it's even colder! Starring 'X-Men' alumnus Tómas Lemarquis as the title character, 'Nói albinói' is a strange indie comedy-drama about a disenchanted teenager who wants (and needs) to escape his isolated Icelandic town. The question on everybody's lips is "is he super intelligent? or is he the opposite?" That's for the audience to decide after a trip around the town where Nói meets a girl, digs a grave and attempts to hold a bank teller hostage! Dagur Kári's debut film also features the familiar Icelandic actors Þorsteinn Gunnarsson and Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson as well as noted artist Elín Hansdóttir in an early acting role. ----more---- Next week's film can be found here Please subscribe, rate and review and Follow us on Twitter @KVIKMYNDAPOD and Instagram kvikmyndapod Artwork designed by Sophie Watts (justahappyspace) Music by Branches Bare ('Half-light' from the EP 'In the Origami Folds of the Night You Rip the Seam of Sleep Wide Open)

LAMB (2021) aka Dýrið
Release Date: 02/28/2022
Description: Halló! Welcome to the Official Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson podcast... Or rather, thanks for catching up with Rob and Ellie as they journey round the 'Land of Ice and Fire' for a third time! Series 3 of Kvikmyndapod kicks off with one of, if not THE biggest Icelandic film of the 21st century; LAMB. A Cannes award-winner co-written by Sjón with the film's director Valdimar Jóhannsson, LAMB takes place in the eerily familiar setting (to regular listeners!) of a remote farm deep in the Icelandic countryside. However, the story is anything but familiar... A supernatural folk-tale with a horror tinge, this is an atmospheric slow burn with WTF moments to stun and scare. Starring Noomi Rapace, Hilmir Snær Guðnason, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson and a character unlike any you will have seen before, LAMB is the perfect film to send the pod back to Iceland. LAMB is currently available to watch on MUBI and Kvikmyndapod listeners can get a free 30-day trial by clicking here: FREE ICELANDIC MOVIES Thanks to MUBI's 'Land of Fire and Ice' collection you can also catch up with other fantastic films already covered on the podcast; 'Under the Tree', 'Rams' and 'Echo'.
