This movie is a wonderful cinematic experience, and I loved it. Youth seen with the eyes of the cinema, and it´s impact on this boy.... A great voyage through influence and appeal.

This is the only film I've ever seen from Iceland. It tells the story of a young boy in the 50's seeing for the first time the american movies and everything else that goes on in his life.
The art film in its essence, but on this category I'd recommend 'Through The Olive Tress' or 'La Haine\Hate' and 'Lepa Sepa Lepo Gore\Pretty Village Pretty Flame'.

This film is very special and maybe not everyone's taste, so to speak. Fridrik Thor is a great director and this is not his best film (that's Angels of the Universe) but a great one to watch, especially if you like artistic films.
