Though scarcely known outside of Iceland director Ragnar Bragason is already a well treasured commodity within his nation's borders and after Toronto Film Festival audiences come across his dark drama
Metalhead his name value elsewhere is sure to spike elsewhere as well. We've had the chance to see it already and here's an excerpt from the upcoming review:
A powerful portrait of grief never dealt with - of grief so powerful it likely never can or will be dealt with - Metalhead
is the film that will very likely finally draw the sort of attention to
Icelandic director Ragnar Bragason that he deserved to receive four
films ago. The simplest way to put it would be to say that Bragason is
the director most likely to follow in Baltasar Kormakur's footsteps and
cross over into larger international success but while that's true it
also somewhat diminishes Bragason's own unique voice.
The full trailer for
Metalhead - English subtitles included - has arrived on the festival's YouTube channel. Take a look below.
