The Sea (Hafið) 2002 [Re-UP + New Rip]

Shakespeare travels to Iceland to visit a particularly odious family in The Sea. More dark comedy than irrevocable tragedy, director Baltasar Kormakur's film takes a twisted look at how an old man beckons his unlikable children to divide up the family fishing empire. The unforgiving, despotic Icelandic cold sets the scene for a family which is united by blood but not by love. As we meet the characters, heavy doses of rage, incest, jealousy and the battle for a profitable family business spill onto the screen. As harsh as their environment, feelings of warmth are soon extinguished by brutal gust of cold.
