Plot synopsis
Paul, part-time laborer and amateur artist, leads an unremarkable life like any other, until his world is disrupted by vivid revelations of the afterlife.
At first a welcome respite from reality, his waking visions soon reveal a demonic conspiracy at work within his own community. One by one, prominent members of high society fall victim to a series of mysterious assassination attempts. As the government scrambles to contain the rising panic of the ruling class, public disillusionment grows. Amidst the maelstrom, Paul becomes entangled in a web of powerful elite, evangelical cults, and a plot that could not only bring down the country’s economy, but also incite the total collapse of society.
Production
The film was mostly shot before the 2008 Icelandic financial crash that shocked the world and inadvertently became a prediction of the chaos that followed.
Reception
Boðberi was meet with mixed reviews.
