New Nordic Cinema: “Paris of the North/París Norðusins”

Friday, March 4, 2016 @ 7:00 pm

$10

From Scandinavia House:

Directed by Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson (Iceland, 2015). Recovering alcoholic Hugi (Björn Thors) struggles to establish a sober and sane existence in a tiny Icelandic village against the stunning backdrop of majestic snow-capped mountains. Hugi is a primary-school teacher who moved to this secluded town from Reykjavík hoping to heal the wounds from his broken marriage and escape hard city life.

When his estranged, hard-drinking father, Þorfinnur(Helgi Björnsson), arrives he throws Hugi’s façade off balance resulting in a delightful comedy about manhood and the delicate relationship between a father and a son.

95 min. In Icelandic with English subtitles.

$10 admission.
