“However, when Gillz tells you you’re
disgusting you just think, “yeaaaah right,
a beefy Páll Óskar is trying to intimidate
me...” He didn’t manage to portray a
volatile psycho more realistically than
that, unfortunately.”

land’s underworld? We get a knowledgeable

“This year we have more films, from
more countries, and many more inter-

“Icelanders aspired to drive American
cars, the only television station in the
country was run by the US military, their
radio stations pumped out Elvis Presley

was state-run, only seemed to feature
symphonies, folklore and long weather
reports.”

“There are women and men, young and
old, big and small. There are stretch-
marks, spare tyres, todgers, a few
flabby bellies and skinny legs, as well
as gooseflesh. The goose bumps are an
integral part of the scenery as the pho-
tos in the book aren’t all cosy summer
pictures; some were taken with snow on
the ground and enough of it to give you
a chill just looking at the wind whipping
up the Kleifarvatn wave tops.”
How about some nude yoga?
