White Night Wedding

Baltasar Kormakur, Director

2008 | 98 |

Iceland's Baltasar Kormakur (THE SEA) invites you to the north-coast island wedding of Jón (Hilmir Snær Guðnason), a middle-aged professor, and his former student Thora (Laufey Eliasdottir). Alas, not everyone thinks the impending nuptials are a good idea -- including Jón, who is still struggling with the recent death of his manic-depressive first wife. Comic antics and bittersweet truths await all who attend, along with much drinking, emotional fireworks and an unforgettable outdoor feast under the midnight sun. Adapted from Anton Chekov's "Ivanov".
