The Icelandic Shock Station (1986)
Directed by Þórhildur Þorleifsdóttir
Overview
The Icelandic Shock-Station is a thoroughbred Icelandic comedy, where the Icelander’s daily life and habits are elevated to the level of farcical confusion and where all the laws of common sense are reversed in travesty of themselves, while at the same time the opportunity is taken to satirize some of the features the scriptwriter feels are blemish on the otherwise smooth facade of the nation’s character.
Length 86 minutes
