 DVD Times - Nói Albinói
Dagur Kári is a young Icelandic director for whom film is just one means of artistic expression.
His debut film, Nói Albinói (Nói the Albino) takes us to the snow-covered landscapes of the West Fjords in the extreme of North West of Iceland, to a small community where the pace of life is too slow for one of its inhabitants, a young seventeen year-old albino called Nói.
However, Dagur Kári expresses a preference in one of the interviews for a soundtrack that sits more central with the image, capturing the claustrophobia and isolation of the situations, so the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix, being unusually less spread-out would probably be closest to the director’s intentions here.

 dOc DVD Review: Nói (Nói Albinói) (2003)
Dagur Kári's desolate fishing village in Iceland, as seen in the quirky coming-of-age film, Nói, is a world illuminated by harsh shades of blue and green, as if we're watching the proceedings under water.
Audio Transfer Review: This is an interesting conundrum, because Dagur Kári has stated that his film is meant to be seen in mono, with all the sound coming from the screen itself, at least until the final act.
The Making of Nói (19m:35s) features extensive comments from soft-spoken director Dagur Kári, and he expounds on designing the unique look and sound of the film, as well as his intentional ambiguity with regard to the ending, though he does mention an original ending he nixed in order to keep things more open to interpretation.

We were together in the same college, and my father—who was the French teacher in the film—he taught French to Dagur in the same college.
The point is that—we talked a lot about it before shooting—the direction Dagur wanted to go was pretty much non-acting, but more of listening and reacting, in a really realistic way.

Dark Horse is the latest film from Icelandic filmmaker Dagur Kari, following his debut feature Noi Albinoi, reinforcing the director's propensity for offbeat humor, a laid back tone, funny dialogue and yet a profound description of people's emotional state of mind.
Dagur explains his take on filmmaking: “I like movies that are more like a catalogue of ideas rather than a plot-driven story.
When we wrote the script, we didn't sit down to figure out a story; we started by collecting lots of ideas and put them all on the same account...The movie is about people who do not fit into the society they belong to.

Maybe only an enormous natural disaster can destroy his world and, in this way, offer him a prospect of a better life...Connoisseurs have for some time regarded Dagur Kari as a great Icelandic film talent.
With Noi, the director (along with actor Tomas Lemarquis) has created a convincing character who dedicates himself with verve to his sad-comic stupidities, but certainly seems capable of greater deeds, in a different place and a different time, which only makes his dream of escaping with the girl from the filling station even more heart-rending.

Regrettably, the debut feature from young Icelandic director Dagur Kári is one of those occasions.
Whilst the film immediately preceding this through the player was Spider-Man 2 (a depressingly poor follow-up to the original film in my view), and therefore there was a relatively low comparison risk for Noi The Albino, I have to say that from an entertainment point of view, the Icelandic film is sadly lacking.
There did not seem to be any issues with audio sync in the transfer.
