FOCUS: SCANDINAVIA • In Icelandic with English subtitles. This feature film draws on one of Iceland's most celebrated television characters, the pompous and doctrinaire misfit, Georg Bjarnfredarson. We meet Bjarnfredarson as a prison inmate, serving a 10-year sentence for murder. Unexpectedly paroled (the warden and inmates have had enough of his obsessive addiction to order) and subsequently shunned by his mother (whose radical feminist politics subjected Georg to all manner of childhood indignities), Bjarnfredarson seeks shelter with fellow hapless ex-cons Daniel and Ólafur. Each man struggles with post-prison life — prim Daniel secretly studies art; man-child Ólafur deals with sudden success after years of slackerdom. But it's Georg's earnest attempts to reconcile his antibourgeois upbringing with modern life that add poignancy to the film's quirky humor — a formula that earned Mr. Bjarnfredarson best picture honors from the Icelandic Film and Television Academy. North American Premiere —Aaron Lazenby
