LAMB (2021)

A childless couple, Maria (Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snaer Gudnason) operate a sheep farm in a remote area of Iceland. While birthing ewes, they deliver a lamb that strangely catches their attention, and raise it, in a crib in their bedroom as their child. The lamb, who they call Ada, develops human characteristics, and even enchants Ingvar's brother, who shows up unexpectedly. But, there's a price to be paid for this intrusion into nature. I won't say more here.

To call this movie weird would be the understatement of the year. It has an early-Sixties Bergman/Antonioni quality, with spare, haunting scenery, tensions and general going-nowhere direction. Can't say whether or not I liked it, but it held my interest after a slow start.
