Halló!
Rob and Ellie travel to yet another remote Icelandic village and meet a whole host of villagers with stories to tell and dreams to dream in Elfar Aðalsteins’ film adaptation of Jón
Kalman Stefánsson’s popular novel
‘Summerlight…And Then Comes The Night’. With a large ensemble cast of familiar faces including Sveinn Ólafur Gunnarsson, Sara Dögg
Ásgeirsdóttir, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Svandís Dóra Einarsdóttir, Víkingur Kristjánsson, Þorsteinn Bachmann, Jóhann Sigurðarson and Heida Reed, ‘Summerlight’ explores the villagers’ lives during the long summer days and the long winter nights. A successful businessman gives it all up to teach astronomy in the local town hall, two farmers have an affair, a young man loses his father, and a couple spark up a romance. These are stories both specific and universal, and the film depicts them beautifully with incredible cinematography and gorgeous music. Available to stream, rent and buy in the UK on Prime.
