Writer-director GrГmur HГЎkonarsonвЂ™s beautifully crafted tale explores the vital relationship between landscape, cultivation and the vicissitudes of the sometimes brutal Icelandic weather, gloriously captured with widescreen cinematography that conveys a feeling of great stillness.Д®ach of the recommendations included here is available to view in the UK.ДЄlthough films have been made in Iceland since the early days of the silent era, the indigenous film industry was relatively slow to develop, especially when compared with other Nordic countries. And, when a case of the highly infectious disease scrapie is diagnosed in the area, catastrophe looms. Although Gummi is affable enough with his fellow farmers, itвЂ™s apparent that for the timeworn brothers their greatest love is for their flocks. Emotions run silent but deep between them they have not spoken to one another in over 40 years, and the communication they do have is either wordless or via notes carried between them by a trusty sheepdog. ItвЂ™s the story of two aged sheep-farming brothers, Gummi ( SigurГ°ur SigurjГіnsson) and Kiddi ( TheodГіr JГєlГusson), who have each reared highly successful herds over time. One of the most beautifully composed and affecting Icelandic films of recent years, Rams has deadpan humour, humility, stunning landscapes, sheep and snowвЂ¦ lots of sheep and lots of snow.
