When The Light Breaks (2024) aka Ljósbrot at London Film Festival and Fár (2023)
Halló!
In this week's minisode Rob and Ellie, together with guest Natalie Peck, head to Reykjavík, by way of the BFI London Film Festival!
In a non-spoiler discussion, they chat about the one Icelandic movie that had its UK premiere as part of the 2024 festival.
That film is 'When The Light Breaks' starring Elín Hall, directed by Rúnar Rúnarsson, not the Icelandic footballer who plays in goal for the national team, but the director of the wonderful 'Echo' which was discussed in an earlier series, and with music by Jóhann Jóhannsson.
The group also discuss a short film that recently dropped on Disney+, 'Fár' directed by Gunnur Martinsdóttir Schlüter and with cinematography by Eli Arenson.
