The absolute basics
1 The Girl Gogo (1962)
Hótel Borg, Pósthússtræti 11
Director: Erik Balling
'The Girl Gogo' is based on Indriði Þorsteins-
son's 1950 novel '79 from the Station'. It is a
tale of flirtation and heartbreak in American-
occupied Iceland. The film’s opening scene,
shot in the ballroom of Hótel Borg, sets a
telling stage for unravelling the themes of
the film. Without any dialogue viewers are
immersed in the distinctly postwar shift of
views in Iceland regarding relationships: both
within the individual sphere and in the nation
as a whole.
2 Rock In Reykjavík (1982)
Hlemmur Square, Laugavegur 105
Director: Friðrik Þór Friðriksson
Friðrik Þór Friðriksson’s 1982 documentary
captures the candidly energetic spirit of Reyk-
javík’s earliest punk scene. The film features
icons and up-and-comers alike. The motley
mixture meets regularly in their home away
from no home: Hlemmur Square.
3 Atom Station (1984)
Austurvöllur
Director: Þórsteinn Jónsson
A young girl named Ugla moves into the city
to study organ. Her time is split between the
elite family that she lives with and the home
of her humble organ instructor. The extremes
to which she is witness twist her inside, as
she tries to grapple with what it is to be an
Icelander. In the final scene of the movie Ugla
moves through Austurvöllur public square,
where the (historically accurate) 1949 Anti-
NATO riots are in full swing.
4 Children of Nature (1991)
Hólavallagarður, Suðurgata
Director: Friðrik Þór Friðriksson
The only Icelandic film ever nominated for
the Best Foreign Film Oscar. Mourning the
death of his retirement home roommate, the
main character walks through the deep green
corridors of Hólavallagarður Cemetery, just
beyond downtown. The cemetery was built
in 1938 and hosts many renowned 19th and
20th-century Icelanders. Its overgrown pas-
sages are a popular stroll for solitude-seeking
Reykvíkingar, from mourners to morning
dog-walkers.

5 101 Reykjavík (2000)
Kaffibarinn, Bergstaðastræti 1
Director: Baltasar Kormákur
The London Underground logo and the little
red box called Kaffibarinn are seminal imagery
of 1990s Reykjavík nightlife. It’s no accident
that Baltasar Kormákur chose this spot as the
main stage for his protagonist’s highs, lows, and
emotional everything-in-betweens. His classic
movie depicts the city-wide hangover from
the 90s, and his main character pays frequent
visits to this hipster hub. Kaffibarinn is still one
of the most-loved nightlife establishments in
downtown Reykjavík (even if its regulars will
never admit it).
6 The Girl In The Café (2005)
Frakkastígur
Director: David Yates
An overly dedicated civil-servant and his
newly acquainted young lady friend travel to
Reykjavík for the G8 summit on world poverty.
As their bond grows an uneven disillusion-
ment with the bureaucratic atmosphere tests
their loyalties. In the final scene of the movie,
our cog-in-the-machine main character quits
his job and takes a highly symbolic stroll from
one end of Frakkastígur to the other.
