Pop in Reykjavik
Pop in Reykjavik is an indispensable documentary on the vibrant Icelandic pop scene. After Björk and the Sugarcubes paved the way, a number of bands are on the threshold of international fame (or oblivion) and this is a cross section of the best. Pop in Reykjavik is not merely a collection of excellent concert footage, but also includes a glimpse into the life of the artists, whether backstage, at the bar or in the bath! As a bonus, gay celeb Paul Oscar takes the audience on a hilarious tour of Reykjavik nightlife. The film truly captures the brutal power and unique ambience of Icelandic pop music, treading the fine line between Cult and Classic.
