Driving Mum (NC)*                                                                                  

Hilmar Oddsson’s delightful darkly comedic road movie set in 1980, is an oddball odyssey of self-discovery and acceptance set in the beautifully photographed landscapes of Iceland. Middle-aged and disappointed, Jón spends his days knitting and listening to the radio with his domineering elderly mother on their rural Icelandic farmstead. Jón’s isolated world is upended when she suddenly passes away. But having been left a series of instructions from her to follow on her death, he sets out on a journey across Iceland to honour her final wishes. Strapping her into his Ford Cortina with the beloved (and scene-stealing) family dog Brezhnev in tow, Jón meets a variety of peculiar and charming strangers en route. Beautifully filmed in crisp black and white, Driving Mum is a heartwarming, funny and emotional film.
