The Sea
The Sea ★★ 2002
A “King Lear” variation set in Iceland and concerned with fish. Fierce patriarch Thordur (Eyolfsson) summons his three adult children to discuss the family fishery. The kids are upset because dad never modernized the business and it can't compete with the larger corporations. His unhappy progeny want to sell out, divide the profits, and get on with their lives. Everyone enjoys spreading their own particular misery and angst around. Icelandic with subtitles. 109m/C DVD . IC Gunnar Eyjolfsson, Kristbjorg Kjeld, Hilmir Snaer Gudnason, Gundrun S. Gisladottir, Sigurdur Skulason, Herdis Orvaldsdottir; D: Baltasar Kormakur; W: Baltasar Kormakur, Olafur Haukur Simonarson; C: Jean-Louis Vialard; M: Jon Asgeirsson.
