A WHITE, WHITE DAY (Dir. Hynur Palmason Iceland 2220)
How does Iceland with a population of 364,000 manage to produce a stream of excellent films when the UK struggles to produce any (THE LAST TREE by Shola Amoo did show promise). A White, White Day will not to be everyone's taste - slow and deliberate - but this semi-thriller drama of a widower's psychological disintegration is superbly filmed and has a number of touches which suggest this a major talent. The follow-up to the brilliant Rams - a widow farmer takes on the local co-op mafia - is a slighter work but well-worth watching.
Two directors to watch out for...
PAOLO GENOVESE
Italian cinema has been in the doldrums for some time but Genovese is producing excellent popular films.
Great Holmfirth stuff here:
