Icelandic Dark Comedy STORMLAND Has a Trailer


sourceTWITCH
There's something movies that the more dark the humour is the more I sadistically enjoy it, throw in a bit of obscurity Ill probably enjoy it even if I dont get the humour. Marteinn Thorsson's STORMLAND (Rokland) is one of those movies its based on a popular novel by Hallgrímur Helgason and is a story about a very bitter man from the northern part of the island. He is obbessed about the local viking legend, Nietzsche and the girl at the post office but when he looses his job at the school he takes out his anger online blogging about the locals, Of course there not happy and he ends up a social outcast.
The movie could easily be created by  Terry Gillam mixed in with some Big Lebowski totally crazy and they throw in a little animation which is fairly new for Icelandic filmmaking but not elesewhere. Check out the trailer above and the movie will be out January 14th in Iceland.
