White Night Wedding

Eccentric characters (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Thröstur Leó Gunnarsson, Jóhann Sigurðarson, et al.) and picturesque Icelandic landscapes dominate this well-acted, unexpected, offbeat dark comedy in which a guilt-ridden, widowed English professor (Hilmir Snær Guðnason) reminisces about his first wife (Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir), who committed suicide, while preparing for his nuptials to a much-younger, former student (Laufey Elíasdóttir) despite opposition from her hotheaded, cantankerous mother (Ólafía Hrönn Jónsdóttir).
