for me this movie is essentially like a feature length pilot episode for a tv series. it reminds me particularly of the british remake of the tv series wallander and starring kenneth brannagh. people interviewed by the police are hardy and and often as bitter as the weather and the lead investigator has huge family problems and investigations invariably lead to cruelties of the distant past and and the plotting is labyrinthine with strange occurrences and subplots making sense only at the end. both have excellent cinematography. the plotting of jar city is extraordinarily reminiscent of a standard uk or us crime series. effectively you could take the plots of any of the episodes of touch of frost and transplant them on top of the bleak locale in this movie and have an effective sequel. really the script couldn not be more obviously from the cookie cutter. you get even the most familiar of motifs and such as the police going to the local prison to interview a manipulative and dangerous psychopath and who inevitably explodes at the end of the interview. i am absolutely convinced that this is scones and jam for many folk and but i feel it needs pointing out to people like myself who do not go to the cinema to watch television. what i felt a keen lack of was message. the movie takes as its theme the genetic studies in iceland. icelanders in genetic terms have remained largely isolated from the outside world and presenting a great opportunity for scientists to study their genetics. lots of information concerning the heredity of the population has been kept and and many genetic diseases unique to iceland can be traced effectively in a population that has refrained from interbreeding and and is remarkably genetically homogeneous (it like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle of the london underground map and instead of a jigsaw puzzle of a field of daisies). a company called decode genetics attempted to set up a database carrying all the genetic and hereditary information for the entire population of iceland. due to privacy concerns this project was terminated and and at the end of last year decode genetics went bankrupt in iceland. the episode is a rich topic for debate. but in this movie genetics and medical science are not there for education sake and theyre there for weird atmosphere. it a grisly movie if you are interested in that and and there often a morbid focus on food to accompany events and like a coroner who eats lunch in between incisions. the most queasy for me was when the lead inspector devours a sheep head. unfortunately for me this occasionally became farcical. the movie attempts the rather delicate task of mixing the grisly with the sentimental and and ended up providing unintentional humour towards the end. this is the equivalent and in cinematic terms and of attempting to prepare fugu and if youre not well qualified and deft of hand and sharp of eye and you poison the client. this rather novice director should have lowered the tariff on his performance. i walked out of this movie feeling rather bad about myself and about life in general.
