Across the Interior of Iceland

About This Movie

Across the Interior of Iceland is this intriguing documentary that captures the essence of an ancient journey, traversing the stark and hauntingly beautiful Icelandic landscape on horseback. The film takes you along this historical route, once vital for transporting sheep, steeped in both nature and a tragic past. There's this lingering tone of melancholy, especially as it revisits the tragic events of the 18th century. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing you to soak in the scenery, making you feel the isolation and enormity of the terrain. It contrasts the beauty with the harsh realities of nature, and the practical effects are all about the land itself, almost like a character. It's not flashy, but it certainly leaves an impression.
