Jar City is an Icelandic murder mystery. Detectives are investigating a recent murder and its connection to the 1974 death of a very young girl who died of a genetic brain disease. There were times, and a lot of the time, when I wasn't sure as to what was going on, it was hard making connections even with the limited number of characters. Jar City does move along at a good pace and kept me involved with the investigation. By the end of the movie, all the pieces fit into a coherent story.
Jar City, which is subtitled, has a soundtrack that adds to the movie. I streamed the movie to my laptop and wished I had seen this movie on the big screen. There are many aerial shots of the coast and countryside, Iceland is a beautiful country. The filmed was shot on cloudy days adding to the somber and sober tone. If you are a fan of this genre, please put it in your queue. This movie deserves a wider audience.
