LAMB (Islândia, 2021) - A childless couple in rural Iceland make an alarming discovery one day in their sheep barn. They soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature, in this dark and atmospheric folktale, the striking debut feature from director Valdimar Jóhannsson, who makes a coolly outrageous feature debut with this jaw-dropping horror-comedy of loneliness, co-written by Jóhannsson with the lyricist and Björk collaborator Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson, or Sjón. It is performed with an unflinching commitment by its executive producer-star Noomi Rapace, who is first among equals in a great cast of humans, animals, and various prosthetic and digital creature effects. MUBI.
