Perspective Film Series Presents: Beautiful Beings (Berdreymi), Dir. Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson
Sunday, November 19th | Doors: 5pm
2022 | Icelandic | 123 mins
This month’s perspective focuses on the expressive curiosity and exploration of boyhood and coming-of-age in a society riddled with toxic heteronormativity. How much of who we become is the consequence of coping? What biases do we carry forward in a seemingly happy society? Despite being filmed in Iceland, considered to be the third happiest country in the world, the beautiful and idealized landscape still contains fractured relationships, shame, and violence for young boys on their way to becoming men.
