Joan of Arc
Watch TrailerJóhanna returns to her native Icelandic village after a decade in Reykjavik. Her plan is simple: sell the family farm quickly and leave. Instead, she finds herself negotiating with escaped sheep, a neighbor who still holds a grudge over a childhood fight, and the quiet persistence of local life. This 2025 dramedy walks the line between absurdity and heartfelt nostalgia, asking whether you can ever truly go home when both you and the place have moved on. The director frames the stark Icelandic landscapes as a mirror to Jóhanna's internal journey, filling each scene with a dry, melancholic humor that feels uniquely local.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director contrasts the static, painterly compositions of the farm with sharp, fragmented flashbacks of city life, using the camera as a detached observer to highlight Jóhanna's dislocation.
What lingers is a story of reverse coming-of-age, where going back offers no easy answers. A quiet gem for those who appreciate humor born from life's minor frustrations. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Hlynur Pálmason
