Stay Teen
The Breakfast Club / Napoleon Dynamite
January 20 & January 27 | 20:00 | Bíó Paradís | A dmission: 1.600 ISK
The much-loved Bíó Paradís cinema—as well as showing a
rotation of classic and contemporary Icelandic films, always
with English subtitles—often screen cult titles, from indie
classics to early horror films to low-budget 80s sci-fi flicks.
This January, they’re showing two very different takes on the
coming-of-age movie. ‘The Breakfast Club’ is the 80s staple
that kind of birthed the genre, via the formula of throwing
together a bunch of teen character tropes—a rebel, a jock,
an overachieving nerd, a pageant queen and an introverted
goth—in a never-ending detention session. At first, they get
on each other’s nerves and clash, before ultimately being unit-
ed by their boredom and frustration. It hasn’t aged particu-
larly well, as it pigeonholes the characters in a way that today
feels reductive and borderline derogatory, but it’s still some
good retro fun. More up-to-date is ‘Napoleon Dynamite’, a
mumbly teen comedy with a stilted, dry, slapstick sense of hu-
mour, centred around a singularly awkward outsider protago-
nist trying to find his way through life. He delivers a stream of
memorable lines about his daily struggles: “Nunchuck skills…
bowhunting skills… computer hacking skills… girls only want
boyfriends who have great skills!” Both are showing at 8pm
on a Friday, so it’s a good way to start your night. JR
