Description
Halló! And welcome back to Kvikmyndapod. Rob and Ellie return for series 2 just in time for Autumn! In this first episode of the new series they explore contemporary political issues by looking at Benedikt Erlingsson's award-winning eco comedy-drama! Halla, a middle-aged choir teacher takes action against the heavy industry of Iceland, careening around the spectacular countryside sabotaging electricity pylons while evading police helicopters and drones. This action is all soundtracked by a fantastic three-piece band (complete with sousaphone) and a Ukrainian choir! There are no films quite like this one. Starring Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, plenty of familiar faces appearing in cameo roles, and music by Davíð Þór Jónsson, Woman At War is a bombastic way to start series 2!   Please subscribe, rate and review and Follow us on Twitter @KVIKMYNDAPOD and Instagram kvikmyndapod   Artwork designed by Sophie Watts (justahappyspace)   Music by Branches Bare ('Half-light' from the EP 'In the Origami Folds of the Night You Rip the Seam of Sleep Wide Open)
