In A WHITE, WHITE DAY, an off-duty police chief (a chilling Ingvar Sigurdsson, who received Cannes Critics' Week award for Best Actor for his performance) in a remote Icelandic town, begins to suspect a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth takes over his life and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. Combining classic thriller tropes with a distinctly Nordic arthouse sensibility, A WHITE, WHITE DAY, the second feature from Hlynur Pรกlmason "engages in storytelling that's both powerful and fresh throughout, marking him as a talent to watch" (The Hollywood Reporter).
My Thoughts
A White White Day is a Icelandic thriller that centers around a police officer. His wife was killed in an accident, and he becomes obsessed with the idea that a man in town was having an affair with her. Maybe he even had something to do with her death. He becomes so consumed with learning the truth, he puts everyone he loves in danger.
This is a great thriller with elements of revenge, but also the hope of love. The actors give phenomenal performances and the Icelandic scenery is stunning. Watching this film is a cultural experience as well as a thrilling adventure. In addition to the main movie, the DVD also includes a bonus short film called Seven Boats If you'd like to purchase a copy of this amazing DVD for yourself, you can find it online at Amazon.
