Golden Sands

1984 · 98 min

A wry, bustling small-town farce where greed and outside attention turn a quiet community cheerfully upside down.

Overview: A political comedy about the effects of the apparent discovery of gold in the sands near a small community on Iceland's south coast. Troops from the American NATO base "invade" the territory, journalists from Reykjavik arrive and the morals of the local inhabitants quickly turn topsy-turvy.
How it feels: Satirical, whimsical, light and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Greed, media, class, deception
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
