Alamode / Thimfilm / Brynjar Snaer Thrastarson

Gnarled people in wool sweaters seem to be the speciality of Icelandic director Grímur Hákonarson. "Stubborn Bucks", the story of a fraternal quarrel among sheep farmers, made him famous in 2015. "Milk War in Dalsmynni" remains true to rural island life, but conquers a larger setting: His new film is half drama, half character study of a woman who becomes a fighter for change. The addition of "comedy" seems out of place, as this time Hákonarson is concerned with shedding light on the socio-political conditions in his homeland.
