Cop Secret Leynilögga

Hannes Thór Halldórsson / 2021 / 98 min / Icelandic

An amusing commentary on major action-film productions, such as the Fast & Furious series, offering several layers of complexity and an intelligent way of dealing with important social issues.

Bussi is a tough ‘super-cop’, breaking rules and winning acclaim despite his reputation as a troublemaker. After a string of suspicious bank robberies across the Icelandic capital city, which cannot be considered as such since nothing gets stolen, Bussi is assigned a new partner. Hordur is the total opposite of Bussi as a suave, cultured, pansexual, former model. The new super-cop team soon find their actual nemesis, a criminal mastermind named Rikki, who stands behind the phantom robberies. A series of complications ensures as Hordur does nothing to hide his bisexual orientation, and Bussi is in denial about his deep-seated homosexual tendencies...

"I started with the concept of a comedy sketch, and while writing the script, I felt we had to give a soul to it, some substance and a special twist. It had to be, first and foremost, a funny movie, but I was looking forward to being able to also convey something positive through it and to shed light on important issues. I tried to treat the issue with as much respect as possible." (Hannes Thór Halldórsson)

The film takes as its starting point the arrival of the Beatles in New York for their August 1965 concert at Shea Stadium, and as its title a Beatles song that already anticipates a time when the present moment will have become a haunting past, neither retrievable nor forgettable. But the frame of reference steadily broadens. Adjacent realities of 1965 are juxtaposed—the New York World’s Fair, the Watts riots filtering through from the East Coast on television…
