jar city (2006)

aka Mýrin
Örn's (Atli Rafn Sigurðsson) daughter dies due to a rare genetic disorder. At roughly the same time Erlendur (Ingvar E. Sigurðsson) starts investigating the murder of Holdeberg, a renowned thug and troublemaker. His investigation leads him down bleak paths and the need to find out what Holdeberg did 30 years ago. Meanwhile he also has to deal with his troubled daughter.
A beautifully understated crime thriller, that uses the bleakness of Iceland to pervade the the look and feel of the story. The slow pace, lulls you and before you know it you are immersed in a grim tale of even grimmer people.
