The best day of their lives? Perhaps not for bride and groom Inga and Bardi, who, on their wedding day, find themselves stuck with their respective families on two separate buses miles from Reykjavik. The future spouses are on the verge of a nervous breakdown—and the journey is just beginning.
Valdís Óskarsdóttir, the BAFTA-winning editor of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, makes her directorial debut with this prickly matrimonial comedy. Taking to the back roads of rural Iceland with a game ensemble cast, Country Wedding is a wickedly funny anatomization of familial dysfunction.
