I've already blogged about Cold Fever, but I just want to revisit this film for a second.
I have been in love with Iceland for years. No, I have never been there, but the entire culture of that place fascinates me. I follow certain blogs based out of Iceland just to get a glimpse of the land and the people in pictures. Their language is uniquely beautiful and one I have been slowly teaching myself (emphasis on the slowly).
For those Sigur Rós fans reading, my wanderlust to travel to Iceland only grew exponentially upon watching the band's 2007 tour documentary titled Heima (view trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhLZP6Cz2dA). I mean... just LOOK at that place. It is, as we spoke of in class, awesome. The opening quote of said trailer ("I sometimes get this strange and sort of uncontrollable urge to want to go home.") is one I have always connected with in terms of my home, but I dream to someday visit their home to see exactly why he feels that way.
In short, when Dr. Redick said Cold Fever was an Icelandic film, by heart skipped a few beats. The land and the culture of the Icelandic people is simply beautiful.
