A very solid Icelandic debut that stands out for its openness in its approach to old age and departure. But it does not stand out yet with any interesting style. Rúnarsson is an aspiring pupil at the Nordic School of Intimate Drama, but it's evident that what is depicted is often more urgent than how the Icelandic debutante manages to bring it to the screen. Getaways to the minimalist melancholy of the musical track and framing of the character through harsh nature are not revealing, and even the more detailed depiction of emotions still lacks. Nevertheless, Volcano is an interesting contribution to Icelandic cinema.

This cold Nordic film tells the story of a grumpy old man whose wife suffers a massive stroke. Although it may not be apparent at first glance, the central motif is love, which can bring out the sensitive core of even the most morose individuals. The painful life story is complemented by impressive shots of the harsh Icelandic landscape and fitting music. The slow pace of the film fully corresponds to the subject it deals with. (75%)
