🎥 Brilliant cinematography captures the beauty of Iceland in this solemn drama. | ✍️ Kat Sachs
The supposed premise of this film—that it’s inspired by the discovery of wet-plate photographs taken by a Danish priest in the late 19th century, as stated in a title card toward the beginning—is itself fictional, a prompt used by Icelandic writer-director Hlynur Pálmason to flesh out the larger narrative.
But it’s the priest’s relationship with Ragnar—his opposite in every way, except in a mutual refusal to yield their strongly held beliefs about the world—that traverses the film’s narrative arc. Throughout the priest takes photographs using his cumbersome equipment, and the results are ghostly in their primitiveness; the beauty of the Icelandic landscape, however, eclipses the device’s limited frame, as if to communicate that nothing could compare to such natural marvels.
