Devil's Island
Description: A dramatic black comedy about the lower-class citizens of Reykjavik, Iceland who made their homes in the abandoned bunkers of British and American soldiers after World War II. A bittersweet examination of one family's trails and tribulations in the attempts to make the best of those difficult times on "Devils Island." Filmed on location in Iceland and based on a true story and the novel by Einar Gudmundsson. Reviews Chicago Sun-Times 10/15/1997 "...Gorgeously shot, this naturalistic fable of a family frozen in dysfunction ends with a quiet miracle..."Chicago Sun-Times 04/23/1999 "...Fridriksson graces the cinema of poverty rooted in Italian neo-realism and the British kitchen-sink style with a delightfully weird twist..."New York Times 03/12/1999 "...[A] vividly realized, comic and pungent slice of life....It is created with admirable skill..."Sight and Sound 01/01/1998 "...Rambunctious energy....Magnus Olafsson is very funny..."
