In the late 19th century, Danish priest Lucas makes the perilous trek to Iceland’s southeastern coast to establish a church. There, the arrogant man of God finds his resolve tested as he confronts the terrain, temptations of the flesh, and the reality of being an intruder in an unforgiving land.
Sodden and sublime: the land of God is grueling but breathtaking to behold in Hlynur Pálmason’s critically acclaimed epic. Following a man on a formidable test of faith, the Nordic filmmaker reaches the existential heights of modern masters such as Bergman and Dreyer in his staggering third feature.
