NOI THE ALBINO (Nói Albinó)


5 p.m.

This debut is a droll and sweet-natured comedy about a feckless, goggle-eyed teenager named Noi who lives in a remote Icelandic village with his grandparents. The movie lopes after Noi as he mooches about the place, occasionally looking in on his good-for-nothing drinker of a dad whose primary pleasure is singing along to Elvis' "In the Ghetto." Kári manages a convincing emotional glissando from deadpan comedy to tragedy -- and the final scene creates a sub-zero shiver in the auditorium.
