Berdreymi (original title)
2h 3m | Drama | 22 April 2022 (Iceland)
Storyline:
Fourteen-year-old Balli is something of a misfit. He lives with his drug-addicted mother in a squalid house and is bullied by his classmates. A stepfather who “thought the gun wasn’t loaded” has left him with a glass eye. But then Balli meets three boys of his own age – Addi, Konni and Siggi – and a friendship gently develops. For the first time in his life, Balli finds that he is able to connect, especially with Addi, whose mother believes in “the subconscious”. Addi is fighting his own demons and, when his visions appear to indicate that Balli’s brutal stepfather can no longer be tolerated, the boys decide to act. Icelandic director Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson finds poetic images for a world marked by violence and aggression in his coming-of-age drama. In it, he depicts a group of youths who are in danger of foundering on the gender-normative behavioural code of their peer group. Desperately they cling to each other – with a grip that is painful and tender in equal measure.
User review:
A heartwarming story of teenage self-destruction and graphic violence. No, really.
I can’t stop thinking about this film. On the face of it, it’s about four teenage boys from variously broken homes who smoke, fight and swagger around 1990s Reykjavik causing trouble and doing fairly horrendous things.
But they are friends, and that’s what this really is. It’s a film about friendship, enduring friendship through the extremes. Sticking up for your mates (even when you should know better). Having your mates stick up for you.
These boys only have each other. Balli has no one to start with – bullied at school, ignored at home, he lives a filthy, pathetic life until Addi takes him into the gang (with the animalistic Konni and weirdo Siggi) after taking pity on him.
We follow the boys on a series of misadventures of teenage impetuousness which build – or sink – in horrifying ways towards the film’s conclusion. Konni fights. Addi grows. Balli lives. Siggi pulls bogies out of his nose and chases people with them, but that’s not the point.
There’s a mildly supernatural aspect to it all as Addi experiences premonitions about what may unfold – they may be real but equally may just be him maturing and seeing the consequences (while doing too many mushrooms).
It’s rare to see such fully formed, three-dimensional characters, but by the end of the film you know these kids, you’re rooting for them (in spite of yourself). You’re one of the gang.
Sturla Brandth Grøvlen’s camerawork is divine, director Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson’s story is moving and believable, the performances are perfect (especially Birgir Dagur Bjarkason, Áskell Einar Pálmason, Viktor Benóný Benediktsson and Snorri Rafn Frímannsson as the kids), the soundtrack is addictive. It’s the whole package.
(In Game of Thrones, they spent a fortune working on making the dragon fire realistic, on the basis that if you believe the fire, you’ll believe the dragon. Fake VFX would have ruined it. Here, it’s the fight scenes. Believe the violence and you’ll believe the teenagers, and I don’t know if there’s an Oscar for best fight choreography but Jón Viðar Arnþórsson and Imma Helga Arnþórsdóttir who did these scenes should win it. As the last reviewer said, this really does look like kids beating each other up – and RIP the extra who gets a door smashed full in her face, I assume she just died in real life.)
I can’t stop thinking about this film. And I can’t recommend it highly enough

This is an independent film from Iceland that is about to be released in the US, the UK, Germany, and many other countries. You are stealing money from the people that made this movie and promoting the piracy of art. Really really rude!
Merry Christmas for you! I wish you a long long life! 🙂
I agree that sharing files before release is different to sharing decades old movies but if these films didn’t sit on a shelf for a year or more then the demand for it would be less. Releasing them months apart in different markets is asking for trouble these days especially when some of the bigger ones come last for no good reason at all.
But maybe the least people on here can do is to give it a five-star review on as many sites as possible so more people might be tempted to pay for it when it comes out. And pay for another copy when they can.
HELLO COULD U PLEASE RE UPLOAD THE ENGLISH SUBTITLES
Done!
“You are stealing money from the people that made this movie and promoting the piracy of art. ”
Yet here you are, doubtless showing no greater respect to OTHER people’s movies.
Fact is, 99.99% of people here would never have even HEARD of this movie without this site, so at least there’s a chance the creators may benefit in the future. Your views on copyright are massively outdated.
Hey, you’re mistaken. You said 99.99% of people here would never have even HEARD of this movie without this site. Well, you can consider me. I am the ONLY ONE who heard about this movie before because I am searching for movies of that chubby bear Icelandic actor. “Ólafur Darri Ólafsson”
So, calm down, and don’t worry. No one is stealing money from the people who made this movie. Also, this GREAT site is not promoting art piracy.
There are thousands of sites if you consider your opinion right. Go to them, say what you want, and defend all world movies. INCLUDING PORNO FILMS!
A whisper in your left ear, I know why you are here, you want to download it free, and you don’t like to make a subscription. This is due to maybe you being Stinginess or helpless.
Then, you appear as a lawyer defending art, as you claim!
You did not live to be against our Will; Respect it, even if you don’t like it. And leave us peacefully.
I am literally one of the creators of this film and this is massively depressing.
Why not just show a trailer and link to all the different ways you can watch the film depending on which country you live in?
Create a donation page where people can chip in to directly help you. Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Leviathan did that.
CinemaForever, congratulations on a beautiful film. Do you plan a bluray release? I have only seen details of cinema and VOD.
Cinema Forever. I living in a Nordic country, and there is no way to see that movie. VOD service not work here and there is no physical media. NORDIC country! Very near for you.
How can I steal your money, if there is no way to give you that money?
There is lot an Icelandic movies I love. (Hjartasteinn). Even that movie is years old. I never see that movie in my country any VOD service, or physical media.
And is true. If THIS site isn’t exist. I never heard either those GREAT movies.
So give us the product, we can buy! I have buying thousands of movies. I have money.
Thank you BHM. Thanks for the reupload.
