Godland (2022)7.1 /10

Storyline:  In the late nineteenth century, a Danish Lutheran priest is dispatched to a far corner of Iceland where a devout farmer has seen fit to build a church. The journey is arduous but spectacular, more so (on both counts) because Lucas insists on lugging around his camera across the inhospitable terrain. This first half of the film evokes the epic colonial odysseys of Herzog, Scorsese, and Lucrecia Martel… In the second half, our missionary is forced to contend not with the forbidding landscapes, but a crippling crisis of faith, his attraction to the farmer’s daughter, and the darkly suspicious locals.
