White Night Wedding - 2008 - 6/10
AKA - Brúðguminn
On the eve of his second nuptials, Professor Jon reflects on the first marriage.
The first wife, an artist, grew bipolar. The second, a former student of his, is twenty years younger.
Quirky comedy from Iceland, dosed with bitterness and creeping regret.
Assorted neighbors of his current residence, the remote and sparsely inhabited Flatey, are a mix of harmless, deluded, or resentful. Add copious alcohol and an influx of wedding guests.
Mostly funny, and I gradually rooted for the young bride, but that twenty year difference gave me pause.
Time shifts occur frequently in this, viewers will need to stay sharp.
