Guð er til… og ástin - God exists… and Love

Storyline

Now I don’t have any form of footage of this TV film but I have gathered some translated interviews and reviews of the film ,they’re long so I’ll leave them under a cut.

Also known as the “Crow’s Palace” ,The play was premiered as the final assignment of graduates of the Icelandic Performing Arts Academy, directed by Hilmir Snær Guðnason, written by  Einar Örn Gunnarsson and published by Óskráð - it premiered by the start of February until the end of April ,and it was live on TV for Easter

2nd project of 3 premiered in Lindarbæ, April 29, 1999





“Stefán Karl Stefánsson was very convincing as the sincere innocence, Frans, who embodies great dimensions in his mind and all his actions; Hinrik Hoe Haraldsson played in a nice and funny way, the nice psychiatrist, Jonathan, who cares for the painter Anna, who does not repay his feelings. María Pálsdóttir takes a good deal with Anna’s role, and her collaboration and Stefán Karl was nuanced.”
