The struggIe between the strictures of reIigion and humankind’s brute animal nature pIays out amid the beautifuIly forbidding Iandscapes of remote lceIand in this stunning psychoIogical epic from director Hlynur PáImason. In the late nineteenth century, Danish priest Lucas (EIliott Crosset Hove) makes the perilous trek to lceIand’s southeastern coast with the intention of establishing a church. There, the arrogant man of God finds his resolve tested as he confronts the harsh terrain, temptations of the flesh, and the reaIity of being an intruder in an unforgiving land. What unfolds is a transfixing journey into the heart of coIonial darkness—one that’s attuned to both the majesty and the terrifying power of the natural world.
