Hvítur, hvítur dagur

"A White, White Day" is a Drama movie in which we watch a retired police officer suspecting a man who was having an affair with his recently passed wife. Soon he will lose control and he will create a hostile environment for him and the rest of his family.

I was surprised by this movie because it was interesting due to its plot that dag into the human soul and the grieving of a person who just want to find out the truth. The interpretations of both Ingvar Sigurdsson who played as Ingimundur and Ída Mekkín Hlynsdóttir who played as Salka were absolutely outstanding and made the difference. The direction which was made by Hlynur Palmason, it was simply amazing and I found very interesting the way he presented our main character, his life and also how he presents us the grieving if his main character. Finally, I have to say that "A White, White Day" is an interesting drama movie and I am sure that after watching it you will think of it for a long time.

Amazing Icelandic drama, with a great score and ambience, not recommended for those annoyed with slow-paced movies

My partner & I are obsessive Icelandic fans - and absorb most of the culture there that we can get our hands on. Most film & TV that manage to get this far are surprisingly bleak and Hvítur dagur is no exception.

The film is a rather dry tale of one man's descent and journey through grief with some arresting visuals and an unexpectedly, almost avant, presentation. The lilting drift between stark reality and implied fantasy isn't particularly well defined (intentionally enigmatic rather) - leaving the potentially enlightening ending as a dull thud for me. The draw here is the particularly strong lead performance (Ingvar Sigurðsson, playing a very different type of tragic character than he did in Ófærð) and as always, the biggest star of any Icelandic film, the stunningly monumental and ever-changing countryside.

Old Cop slowly goes crazy after learning about his deceased wife's past. Southern style drama of revenge and jealousy set in the high North. Great performances, great art direction, interesting visualizations. Recommended.

... that almost self extinguishes but is saved by the rage of a widower upon discovering the infidelity of his dead spouse. The lines between sanity, grief, madness and anger achingly filmed and pondering through the mistiness of recollection.
