Perfect!

366 Days of Film. Day 81 - Lamb. A couple living in rural Iceland, struggling to have a child, adopt a lamb. Best to approach this film cold as the fable slowly, quietly, reveals its mysteries to great effect. I wasn't a fan of that ending, though, a bit of a... Grimm wrap up.
S02BONUS - LAMB & Cop Secret (Leynilögga) 2021
A non-spoiler discussion of two Icelandic movies that played at the 2021 BFI London Film Festival!
A very Icelandic folk horror and a very Icelandic ‘Hollywood’ buddy action movie!

Really hoping it’ll get a wider release after this week but that remains to be seen
But you can probably listen to the first 15 minutes without any real spoilers
It is yes…
The guys on ‘Kvikmyndapod: An Icelandic Cinema Podcast’ did a deep dive into #TheDamnedMovie that’s very interesting. Heavy spoilers from about halfway through, so be warned!
New horror film The Damned tells the story of an Icelandic fishing outpost in the deep of winter during the 19th century, and the other worldly horrors that await them when a ship sinks off the coast.
