Sarah and I just returned from the film Nói albínói (which translates to Nói the Albino), an Icelandic film about a delinquent but brilliant young man in a nowhere-town somewhere on the coast of the island. The plot was relatively uneventful but never dragged, in part because of the use of short, to-the-point scenes not unlike those utilized in Napoleon Dynamite. Nói albínói isn't a happy movie, but it is a comic one; I laughed aloud on more than one occasion. At only 93 minutes, the investment in time is small compared to the entertainment and food-for-thought that the film delivers.
