the scene where pétur started feeding ada grass made me so uncomfortable because of the dehumanisation, which is interesting considering that ada is an animal. really makes you wonder…

A mom with an iPad could shoot a gorgeous movie in Iceland but it’s still meaningful to say this is a beautiful film - also well performed. That you could replace its droning soundtrack with melodic folk music to instantly transform it into an adorable fable makes it a curious one to review. As it is, it’s never horrific or even disturbing but rather just . . . a bit unsettling. Quiet and strange, pretty and interesting, but mostly just, “Huh, weird.”

13 - Lamb (2022) / Dýrið
"Never work with animals or children" is an old entertainment industry axiom, but one that's ignored throughout the Icelandic folk horror fim Lamb. A surprising amount of screen time is handed to the film's animal performers, who outnumber their human cast mates by a wide margin.
The film, near wordless during its first half, doesn't spend much time explaining its central mystery; a visiting relative's concerns are dismissed, the leads insisting the "lamb" in question portends "happiness". The film only acknowledges the strangeness afoot via a sheepdog's perplexed gaze, and a house cat's amusingly bitchy stink-eye.
Of the human performers, Noomi Rapace (best known for her role in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, as well as for being the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) plays the surrogate mother with expressionless stoicism. Her manner of dealing with a doting ewe is perhaps the most chilling moment in this otherwise maudlin but sweet-natured cinematic oddity.

Orgia
Lyrics:
I. Orgia
Hjörðin berst fyrir lífi sínu
sem svanir móti stormi.
Þau standa í þeirri trú
að þau hafi eitthvað val,
hahahaha…
Hann er vel varinn
handan hvítra múrveggja.
Haldið þið virkilega að sá með völdin:
Drottinn yðar
gefi ykkur val?
Hans ríki þrífst á stríði
og þegnar hans þjóna því blíðir.
Hvers vegna að hafna hans veldi
þegar þrældómur vor er hulinn
með draumum í vöku?
Nú ákalla þau dýrið dátt
og æða áfram dreymin.
Til lofts þau lyfta veigum hátt
og dansa glatt í algleymi.
Hans ríki þrífst á óreiðu
og þegnar hans upphefja það glaðir.
Hvers vegna að efast hans verk
þegar hvert högg svipunnar
er sem blíð gola á kinn?
I. Orgia
The herd battles for its life
like swans against a storm.
They endure in believing
that they have a choice,
hahahaha…
He is well protected
behind white walls of concrete.
Do you really suppose that he, who has the power:
your Lord
grants you choice?
His realm thrives on war
and his citizens serve it obsequiously.
Why reject his realm
when our slavery is hidden
with dreams in wakefulness?
Now they summon the beast, rejoicing
and precipitate onwards, fanciful.
Raising the bounties of vine and vale
and dancing delightfully in oblivion.
His realm thrives on chaos
and his citizens exalt it, rejoicing.
Why doubt his works
when every strike of the whip
is as a tender breeze on cheek?
