The Third Name - Þriðja Nafnið (2003)

A MOVIE THEATRE A quiet film about a tense night - Feature Film - Dramedy. Subtitles in Icelandic and English. A romantic hoodlum highjacks a boat and demands to speak to his ex-girlfriend, but she has never heard of him. A very low budget one, set in two rooms and a boat over one night, shot in the simple straight forward style of the early film making. This is a character study, observing the post 9/11 atmo and the different cultures we live in. With the characters in the foreground facing a wicked mind, the story comes to a twisted end before dawn. The film was shot in two weeks on location in Iceland and was the first Icelandic film to seek post production in Russia. "David and Jeff, who were expecting to see the first draft, where in New York on the 11th of September 2001. Not exactly the best time!? Right. The timing to make a film about highjacking could not have been more unfortunate. The musicians were very alarmed by the attack, and quickly rented a plane to the UK. .... In short, Davids and Jeffs plans changed, funding fell through for most part" . "Three gangsters in one, the US type, racing away with the girl, the French one, chasing a mystical girl in the forest, the Russian type, who walks in circles in his garden with poetry and a gun". "indeed the most peculiar Icelandic film ever made" MBL. February 2004. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7sz... Cast - leikarar: Moses Rockman ... Elma Lísa Gunnarsdóttir Hjalti Rögnvaldsson ...
