Smáfuglar

Ein 15-minütiger Film, der intensiver und schöner als manche Spielfilme ist. Ein Film, in dem Augenbewegungen eine größere Rolle als Dialoge spielen. Die kindliche Zerbrechlichkeit und Unschuld treffen in einem authentischen Milieu auf den Ekel der grauen Realität. Das einzige Medikament ist die Liebe. (23.01.2010)

A powerful film about how adolescence sometimes isn't beautiful at all. Sometimes there's such a breaking point that it's not even pretty anymore. This film is quite harsh, even though it doesn't really show anything harsh. It's like a harsh hallucination where upon waking up, you realize you're no longer who you were, but what’s worse is that you actually like it. (28.08.2014)

As soon as I see that a movie was made in Iceland, there’s no hesitation on my part. You can also watch this short movie online, so why not. A bit of depression in the living room can’t be a bad thing. But this was rough. Awfully rough. But amidst all that rough reality, there was a small bit of hope and a good chunk of love, which proves that it can always get worse. And it truly can. (13.07.2014)
