Film discussion club: "Godland" (2023)

About the event

Inspired by the Lessons From The Screenplay and Beyond The Screenplay, I have selected films I want to watch and talk about.

We will watch the movie then discuss it. We can discuss things like themes, characters, screenwriting, filmmaking technique, etc. For especially weird movies we can take some time to figure out what actually happened and what it means.

No potluck, but you may bring food & non-alcoholic beverages if you want.

The movie will be played on Blu-ray (which has noticeably better quality than streaming) to a 60-inch LCD TV (from 2010) and an actually good 5.1 surround-sound system with a 12-inch subwoofer.

About the movie

Synopsis: At the end of the 19th century, a young Danish priest is sent to a remote part of Iceland. The deeper he travels into the unforgiving landscape, the more he loses a sense of his own reality, his mission and his sense of duty.
