Deadpan Comedy Finds
Solid Gold
The Treasure
June 16, 20:00 at Bíó Paradís, Hverfisgata 54 (E5). Admission: 1,400 ISK
At some moments funny, at other moments moving, this film
by Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu demonstrates
a profound understanding of the human spirit. ‘The
Treasure’ tells the story of Adrian, a broke young man who
searches for buried treasure that, legend has it, was hidden
from communists long ago. Adrian ropes his good-natured
neighbour Costi into helping him scour a plot of land, armed
with metal detectors and shovels, and inevitably comedy
and tragedy ensue. Porumboiu, who wrote the screenplay in
addition to directing, tackles what could be difficult subject
matter—debt and family strife—with his classic deadpan
humour. IW
