A Danish priest journeys into unknown terrain to build a church in Hlynur Pálmason's meditative drama.
In the late 19th century, a young Danish priest travels to a remote part of Iceland to build a church and photograph its people. But the deeper he goes into the unforgiving landscape, the more he strays from his purpose, the mission and morality.
Necessarily bleak but shot through with moments of humor, the beautifully filmed Godland, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, serves as a gently absorbing meditation on life and death.
