Northern Stars 2010 / Director: Dagur Kári
The Good Heart
The English-language debut of the talented Icelander Dagur Kári (Noi the Albino) could pass for a movie made in the Seventies. It’s gritty, washed out, and largely driven by dialogue and character. And what characters! Brian Cox is perfectly cast as Jacques, a crude, hard-drinking, chain-smoking New York City bar owner on heart attack number five. (He too appears to be a relic of the Seventies: check out his car, rotary phone, and cassette player.)
