already intrigued by iceland, i found this film a welcome addition to what i already know about the country. i saw it the first week of this year's (2006) Seattle International Film Festival and as of that showing, it still hadn't acquired a distributor, unfortunately. besides an interesting concept (to document the nation's opinion about whether gnome-like "hidden people" exist alongside the humans, plants and other animals albeit mostly secretive), i really enjoyed the icelandic music that accompanied the documentary. artists such as Mum, Sigur Ros and others greatly added to the general ethereal atmosphere of the cinematography and subject matter. i was hoping to find (on IMDb) more information on the soundtrack or even if one exists (does it?).. well, if you get a chance to see this film, i highly recommend it.
