Although this movie was dark and a bit degrading, I really enjoyed it. Noi Albinoi translates to, Noi the Albino. It is a film based in Iceland about a young albino man by the name of Noi. You will soon notice that Noi sees life through an interesting angle. In the movie he is portrayed to be extremely intelligent, however he finds school to be somewhat of a bother and hardly ever shows. He lives a very simple life in Iceland and doesn't let the pressures and stereotypes of society let him change how he wishes to live. This film shows how life in Iceland is very simple and the people who live there are always entertaining themselves. This movie follows Noi and his urge to get something more exciting out of life in such a cold, small and miserable town in Iceland.
This film has a simple style of directing and uses little, if any graphics at all. Throughout the movie you are following Noi in his everyday life. What I really enjoyed most about this film was that everything Noi did related to certain outcomes within the movie. For example, Noi didn't do well in school, therefore he was expelled. Once he was expelled, his grandmother became worried about his future and hired a fortune teller. The fortune teller said he saw death in Noi's future, and the movie continued on from there.
I would recommend this film to people. It is a quieter film and differs from many of our usual Hollywood films. It will give you a different look at other lifestyles and the way people choose to live. It shows little parts of Iceland that you would have probably never seen before the movie, and also truly reveals the natural beauties that Iceland has. Noi Albinoi is a great film.
