Rams (2015) - 92 min

Country: Iceland
Director: Grímur Hákonarson
Cast: Sigurður Sigurjónsson, Theodór Júlíusson, Charlotte Bøving & Jon Benonysson.
Brothers, Gummi and Kiddi live in a secluded valley who haven't spoken to each other for a long time. Gummi discovers a lethal disease on Kiddi's sheep, which means it's just a matter of time before authorities slaughtered all the sheep in the valley including his sheeps.
The official Icelandic entry for Best foreign language film at 88th academy awards. The message that conveys through the movie is very simple. Director Grímur Hákonarson beautifully captures the landscape shots by creating a sense of tension towards the final minutes. Sigurjonsson brings the two sides of Gummi, outside he is a guy with an attitude and inside he is a caring person. Overall, it's a small film that shows the bond between two brothers even though their ego, not allows them to break their 40 year silence.
Verdict: Good
