“Possibly the most important debut by an Icelandic director since Noi Albinoi, Rúnnar Rúnnarsson’s Volcano focuses on the twilight years of Hannes, a school janitor who’s just about to retire. Perpetually angry and prone to lashing out at those closest to him. Hannes has his world violently disrupted when his long-suffering wife Anna, falls ill. Forced to care for her for the first time, Hannes slowly discovers sentiments long buried within him. A mature and emotionally devastating film directed with extraordinary sensitivity, Volcano is a profoundly humanist work.” -Steve Gravestock, TIFF
