Not since Jerry Salinger's "Catcher In The Rye" has there been a better depiction of a totally disillusioned and out of touch teenager. Tomas Lemarquis plays Noi, a brilliant but utterly unmotivated 17 year old who has lost touch with his father, grandmother, his best friend, his schoolteachers, his minister, and eventually, his girlfriend. Dagur Kari has directed a masterpiece. The Icelandic scenery, so desolate and austere,only adds to the complete frustration, since Noi feels everyone he knows is conspiring against him. We've seen lots of US, French and British made films about sullen and rebellious teenagers, but this one is easily the most realistic of all of them. I won't discuss how it ends...but be prepared.
