Saw a great French/Icelandic film last night at the film festival, Stormy Weather, with Gallic beauty Élodie Bouchez (still from the film above). You might have seen her in Dreamlife of Angels or CQ. Set in Belgium and then in Iceland this film was quite beautiful and follows the relationship of a troubled woman and her psychiatrist and the bond they form as friends. Quite a nice film (similar in style to the Dardenne Brothers films in its almost documentary feel). Another entertaining film from Iceland was a new film by Dagur Kari called Noi Albinoi. He is also a member of the band Slowblow who do the excellent soundtrack for this film.
