Review of Lamb

Lamb (2021)
Full of innuendos to mythologies in the fantastic landscape of Iceland
20 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is a gruesome movie with a nordic slow pace.

It's not a horror slasher cabinet.

You'll need to let it flow and allow yourself to flow.

Wrapped in the fantastic landscape of Iceland with wonderful cinematography it will carry you off into yourself, your inner mind.

The story is full of innuendos to Jewish, Christian and Nordic mythology.

The names of the persons are hints and help to understand.

Cute, how Pétur goes fishing with Ada, the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei).

And please remember how in Iceland the Christian belief exists trouble-free beside elves and goblins.

The nordic God Heimdall appears often throughout the movie.

Heimdall is not mentioned namely but clear to see at the end.

In January already wrote a comment on a german platform and was somewhat disappointed that barely somebody recognized Heimdall.

Now open your mind and (re-) watch this great film, please.

It's worth it!
