"Noi"
2003
Directed by Dagur Kari

Iceland's beautiful and stark winter landscape frames this bittersweet tale of a misunderstood, albino teenager who rebels against the conformity imposed by his small town. Surrounded by a litany of bizarre characters, Noi (Tomas Lemarquis) feels trapped and isolated until he meets Iris (Elin Hansdottir). When the young girl suggests that they flee their hopeless situation, Noi resorts to questionable methods to make their dream a reality. "...an intriguing and extremely clever blending of comedy, tragedy and coming-of-age angst" (Rich Cline, Film Threat). Originally released as Noi Albinoi. Icelandic with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
