CRITIC’S PICK
“I’m convinced that A White, White Day is the work of one of the
most important voices of this emerging generation”
— Peter Debruge, Variety
“The Oscars should have made room for the intense and elemental
A White, White Day.”
Mike D’Angelo, AV Club
SYNOPSIS
In A WHITE, WHITE DAY, an off-duty police chief (a chilling Ingvar Sigurdsson, who received Cannes’ Critics’ Week award for Best Actor for his performance) in a remote Icelandic town, begins to suspect a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth takes over his life and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. Combining classic thriller tropes with a distinctly Nordic arthouse sensibility, A WHITE, WHITE DAY, the second feature from Hlynur Palmason “engages in storytelling that’s both powerful and fresh throughout, marking him as a talent to watch” (The Hollywood Reporter).
A WHITE, WHITE DAY — the very first new theatrical release to premiere in Film Movement’s Virtual Cinema in conjunction with movie theater partners across North America — will be available to consumers for $12 per virtual ticket purchased directly through participating theaters or filmmovement.com.
