A White, White Day (Cert 15)

Available now on Curzon Home Cinema, available from Monday on Amazon Prime Video/BT TV Store/ iTunes/Sky Store/TalkTalk TV Store and on DVD £15.99

Grizzled police chief Ingimundur (Ingvar Sigurdsson) renovates a house for his daughter to distract himself from the death of his wife.

Her car careened through a road-side barrier in poor visibility and tumbled down a steep incline. As he looks through his wife’s belongings, Ingimundur leafs through an unreturned library book and discovers a photograph of a local man.

Rage slowly bubbles to the surface and Ingimundur becomes convinced that his wife was having an affair.

Turning his back on the law that he vowed to uphold, the widower sets out to learn the truth about his late wife’s secret relationship.

Accompanied by his granddaughter, Ingimundur stalks his unsuspecting prey, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A White, White Day is an assured revenge thriller firmly embedded in the rugged, windswept landscapes of Iceland where icy, choking fog conceals perilous winding roads as well as painful secrets of the heart.

Writer-director Hlynur Palmason bucks conventional wisdom by adopting a glacial pace.

Quiet moments of agonising contemplation play to actor Sigurdsson’s ability to internalise his character’s maelstrom of emotions, then allow rage and despair to bubble to the surface without flashy theatrics. Maria von Hausswolff’s striking cinematography relishes the divide between light and shadow, particularly in one nail-biting night-time scene conducted in the full beam of a stationary car.
