"101 Reykjavik"
2000
Directed by Baltasar Kormakur

Young Hylnur has fallen in love with the new Spanish boarder that has just rented a room in his home. And so has his mother. Life in cold Reykjavik is heated up in this debut dark comedy that gives new meaning to "keeping it in the family". Writer/director Baltasar Kormakur delivers "a funny, touching, off-the-wall relationer that's one of the freshest helming debuts in world cinema this year" (Derek Elley, Variety).  90 minutes.
