Woman at War (2018)
Language: Icelandic. Also known as Kona fer í stríð.
Directed by Benedikt Erlingsson
Not sure what it is about this film that captures my heart but it's very special. Is it an Icelandic thing? I certainly loved Of Horses and Men as well. The incongruous musicians that photo-bomb (sound-bomb?) the scenes just work: a brass band here and a Ukranian trio there. — Bill
