Virgin Mountain (F\u00fasi)<\/h3>\n

Dramatic Comedy | 93 Minutes | 2015 | Iceland<\/h4>\n

<\/i><\/strong><\/i><\/strong><\/i> (3\/4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director: Dagur K\u00e1ri | Starring: Gunnar J\u00f3nsson, Ilmur Kristj\u00e1nsd\u00f3ttir, Sigurj\u00f3n Kjartansson, Margr\u00e9t Helga J\u00f3hannsd\u00f3ttir, Franziska Una Dagsd\u00f3ttir, Arnar J\u00f3nsson | Music: Slowblow | Cinematography: Rasmus Videb\u00e6k<\/strong><\/p>\n

F\u00fasi (Gunnar J\u00f3nsson) is forty-three years old and a virgin, still living at home with his mother. He spends his days working as a baggage handler at Keflavik airport, his evenings wargaming with his friend M\u00f6r\u00f0ur\u00a0(Sigurj\u00f3n Kjartansson), as together they painstakingly\u00a0recreate the Battle of El Alamein, and each Friday he orders Pad Thai and eats cloistered in the same corner of the same restaurant. His overbearing mother\u00a0Fj\u00f3la (Margr\u00e9t Helga J\u00f3hannsd\u00f3ttir)\u00a0keeps him around to stave off loneliness and help with the housework, and although F\u00fasi is mostly well liked – appreciated by his manager at the airport, and on first-name terms with the owner of the Thai place – the only break in the monotony of his life comes when he suffers spurts of abuse from three coworkers.<\/p>\n

Then two things happen: a young girl called Hera\u00a0(Franziska Una Dagsd\u00f3ttir), who lives with her father in an apartment on the floor below, starts to see\u00a0F\u00fasi as someone she can bond with over dolls and other toys; and Fj\u00f3la’s lover\u00a0Rolf (Arnar J\u00f3nsson), largely for the sake of some amorous alone time, enrolls F\u00fasi in a line dancing class as a birthday present. When\u00a0F\u00fasi obliges Hera by taking her out for ice cream, the police are called and\u00a0he gains a reputation as the local paedophile,\u00a0while at the first line dancing session he peers briefly inside only to retreat to the safety of his car.\u00a0Yet\u00a0F\u00fasi’s tentative steps do not go altogether unrewarded. In the rain, a line dancing classmate asks him for a lift, and despite his weight and reserve, and her relative prettiness and an ostensibly carefree, outgoing disposition, Sj\u00f6fn (Ilmur Kristj\u00e1nsd\u00f3ttir) and F\u00fasi\u00a0fire up a relationship.<\/p>\n

Gunnar J\u00f3nsson is one of Iceland’s eminent comic actors, and he appears\u00a0to have a proclivity for cow produce: the poster for Virgin Mountain<\/em> shows him clutching a glass of milk, his\u00a0moustache covered with the white stuff, and it was in a similar guise that J\u00f3nsson appeared in the wildly successful series Naeturvaktin<\/em>, where his character routinely enjoyed a late-night meal of hot dog with\u00a0cream.\u00a0Dagur K\u00e1ri, the director of Virgin Mountain<\/em>,\u00a0returning to Icelandic for the first time since 2003’s Noi the Albino<\/em> – after 2005’s Dark Horse<\/em>, which was in Danish, and 2009’s\u00a0The Good Heart<\/em>, in English and starring Brian Cox and Paul Dano – seems happy to make the reference, with\u00a0Franziska Una Dagsd\u00f3ttir,\u00a0Arnar J\u00f3nsson, and Sigurj\u00f3n Kjartansson all featuring in Naeturvaktin<\/em> or its counterparts, up to and including the record-breaking\u00a0Mr. Bjarnfre\u00f0arson<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Virgin Mountain<\/em> is much gentler than Naeturvaktin<\/em> and company, but it offers a similar blend of farcical comedy and pathetic isolation.\u00a0F\u00fasi is an\u00a0unkempt giant whose heart of gold has only been hiding, but eschewing Hollywood’s tendency to make women ciphers for male development, the appearance of\u00a0Sj\u00f6fn offers no easy course. For a start, she tells F\u00fasi she just wants to be friends, before withdrawing entirely from the relationship, forcing F\u00fasi to break into her home where he finds her locked in a closet, severely and grubbily\u00a0depressed. Twists like these make for a couple of compelling character portraits, and though the film never quite loses its sweetness, there is enough about Virgin Mountain<\/em>\u00a0to distinguish it from conventional light comic fare: revealing more than the sensitivity behind his doughy eyes,\u00a0F\u00fasi emerges as intelligent, impressively\u00a0thick skinned, and\u00a0intuitively full of courage.<\/p>\n

After all, even if they are not going to live and love,\u00a0F\u00fasi and\u00a0Sj\u00f6fn have still needed each other.\u00a0Virgin Mountain<\/em> won Best Narrative Feature at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, while Gunnar J\u00f3nsson took home the prize for Best Actor in a Narrative Feature, the jury remarking ‘The film was aided in no small measure by a performer whose mixture of comedy and sadness evokes Chaplin and Keaton,\u00a0with a complete lack of tricks, pretense, or condescension’. The picture also won the 2015 Nordic Council Film Prize.<\/p>\n
