		The world community was first alerted to Icelandic cinema when the films Land og synir (Land and Sons), directed by Ágúst Guðmundsson, and Óðal feðranna (Father’s Estate), directed by Hrafn Gunnlaugsson, were screened at foreign film festivals in the early 1990s.
		The most famous Icelandic directors are Hrafn Gunnlaugsson, Friðrik Þór Friðriksson and Baltasar Kormákur.
		Hrafn became known for his Viking movies, the films Hrafninn flýgur (1984, When the Raven Flies) and Í skugga hrafnsins (1988, In the Shadow of the Raven).

	National identity and conversion through medieval romance: the case of Hrafn Gunnlaugsson''s film I Skugga ...
		IN DIRECTOR Hrafn Gunnlaugsson's 1988 film, I Skugga Hrafnsins [In the Shadow of the Raven], conversion to Christianity, despite the promise of spiritual salvation and national unification, is inherently a competition for social dominance.
		In the opening sequence, Gunnlaugsson juxtaposes midshots of the boat's passengers with voice-over long shots of the troubled boat to introduce three of the four sources of dramatic tension that will occupy the film--religion, environment, settlement--to which romance will later be added.
		Gunnlaugsson's refusal to shy away from the unpleasantries of early Icelandic settlements, however, reminds modern viewers that social and political change is rarely without cost, despite some historians' tendency to romanticize national origin.

	[No title]
		Director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson is a self-described disciple of Ford, Kurosawa, and Leone.
		Gunnlaugsson's imagination flags towards the middle of the film, and there is a certain repetitiveness about the killings.
		Gunnlaugsson might also have done better to avoid quite so many obvious parallels to his cinematic heros.

	Review/Film; A Spiritual Journey To Medieval Iceland - New York Times
		In the world of Hrafn Gunnlaugsson's medieval adventure film, "The Shadow of the Raven," emotions are as jagged and windblown as the spectacular Icelandic coastline where the movie was shot.
		Gunnlaugsson's characters tend to communicate very tersely, and there is a lot of glaring and primal grunting that at moments borders on the silly.
		Reine Brynolfsson projects Trausti's faith by widening his eyes and peering solemnly into the eyes of everyone he encounters, but his portrayal is so lacking in inner fire that he is finally unconvincing as an invincible hero of truth, justice and the newly Christianized Nordic way.

	FILM: 'RAVEN' FROM ICELAND - New York Times
		Leone, not to mention Sam Peckinpah and Akira Kurosawa, that the Icelandic writer-director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson gets his strong, silent hero and much of this tough guy's modus operandi.
		Gunnlaugsson is a skillful storyteller, and he gives the film a slow, brooding style and an irreversible momentum.
		Gunnlaugsson imbues it with a slow, determined grace.

		National identity and conversion through medieval romance : The case of Hrafn Gunnlaugsson`s film "Í skugga hrafnsins" (In the shadow of the raven)
		The priority of conflicting claims — the pagan heroic code of vengeance, familial obligation, and fate versus Christian mercy, obligation to God, and individual will — is traced against a backdrop of claims of national identity versus the monolithic blurring of boundaries demanded by the dominance of the Church.

	In Focus
		Although documentaries were shot with some regularity on Iceland, the feature film “industry” began only in the early months of 1980, when two releases galvanized the local public.
		Ágúst Gudmundsson’s Land and Sons, and Hrafn Gunnlaugsson’s Father’s Estate marked the debut of very different personalities, yet were linked by a common theme: the relationship between a young man and his family -—his quest for a new life, away from the agrarian grind.
		Gunnlaugsson’s When the Raven Flies (1984) and In the Shadow of the Raven (1988) brought medieval Iceland to life with stunning sorcery, mingling elements of the Hollywood Western, the Japanese samurai epic, and of course the Icelandic saga, to create stories of betrayal and revenge in a period when life was nasty, brutish, and short.

		Koproduktionen mit ausländischen Investoren sind mehr und mehr zur Gewohnheit geworden, und das hat Inhalt und Stil der entsprechenden Filme beeinflusst: Ausländische Mitarbeiter und ihre Sprache haben Spuren hinterlassen.
		Schon Hrafn Gunnlaugssons Wikinger-Filme "Der Flug des Raben" (1984) und "Im Schatten des Raben" (1988) weckten Interesse außerhalb Islands, aber erst Fridrik Thór Fridrikssons "Children of Nature - Eine Reise" setzte Island 1991 auf die kinematographische Weltkarte.

		His vivid imagery and use of landscape, the raw immediacy of his epic storytelling, and his over-the-top bravura echo the masters in the novel and compelling context of medieval Iceland.

		Great movies which are inspired by Sergio Leone's western movies but set in the viking age.
