Reykjavik is often portrayed as being the capital of North Atlantic hedonism, complete with a hip upper class, Icelandic sushi and huge four-by-four vehicles. But Ragnar Bragasson turns this depiction inside out in his clever, black-and-white multiplot drama, where people on the bottom rungs of society are struggling with the problems of everyday life, while they are being pulled into a downward spiral of ill-fated events. Four stories dissect the reality of relationships between parents and children, and their attributes of intimacy, powerlessness and overprotectiveness: Marino, the local retard with the mind and inner demons of a young child; Gardar, a heartless criminal with no roots, who is willing to do anything for a bit of money; Karitas, a nurse and single mother of four, who is caught in a net of economic and emotional powerlessness; and Gudmund, Karitas’s fatherless son, who’s having a hard time trying to find his place in the world, until he one day suspects who his father might be. The film is the product of a collaborative effort by the award-winning theatre group Vesturport. Much like Mike Leigh’s character actors, the performers have used improvisation techniques to get into the lives of their characters. The resulting portraits are both authentic and disturbingly serious, with space for ample eccentricity. One of Iceland’s new kids on the music block, Petur Ben (Screaming Masterpiece), is behind the film’s soundtrack.
Ragnar Bragason
Born 1971 in Sudavik, Iceland. His feature debut, the comedy Fiasco (2000) was well received at home as well as at a number of film festivals around the globe. His latest two works Children and Parents are Mike Leigh-inspired films made in collaboration with the theatre group Vesturport. He has also made both music videos and commercials.
Tuesday the 25th the director Ragnar Bragason will introduce the film and answer questions from the audience after the screening.
