Noi Albinoi is the feature-length debut from Icelandic filmmaker Dagur Kari. Set in an isolated fjord during the dead of winter, teenager Noi (Tomas Lemarquis) is stuck living with his grandma Lina (Anna Fridriksdottir). His mother is gone and his father, Kiddi (Throstur Leo Gunnarsson), is busy battling alcoholism. Although he's incredibly bright, Noi gets kicked out of school for cutting class and setting up clever pranks. With nothing to do in the frozen wilderness, he eventually meets gas station attendant Iris (Elin Hansdottir) and the two start a gentle romance. Noi then gets the idea to rob the town bank and take off with Iris, but it doesn't work out as planned.

Ann C.

Hard to imagine life in rural Iceland during the winter, with frozen ground, endless snow and whiteouts, and claustrophobic hours indoors. This is the predicament of teen-age Noi, and so he gets into trouble. Yet you can relate to him and the characters in his town. Stick with the movie, even though it sometimes drags. The ending? Surprising and sad.

This movie was odd but worth watching once you've started.
