Two
busloads of Icelanders are off to enjoy a wedding. The bride and groom,
along with their guests, begin their journey in Reykjavik, heading for a
small church in the countryside. Country Wedding is a touching,
darkly funny and offbeat road movie—and you’ll want to go along for the
ride. Produced by Davíd Óskar Ólafsson, Gudrún Edda
Thórhannesdóttir, Árni Filippusson and Hreinn
Beck. Director of Photography: Anthony Dod
Mantle. From Fortissimo Films.
