Under pressure from his traditionalist grandfather, a Japanese junior executive revises his vacation plans (golfing in Hawaii) so as to perform the proper memorial ritual for his long-gone parents at the site of their accidental deaths: Iceland. (The image in the opening scenes in Japan is compressed to boxy TV proportions; in Iceland it expands to widescreen.) The forced, deadpan daffiness is a bit of a bore; the untouched wintry landscape a sizable compensation. With Masatoshi Nagase, Lili Taylor, Fisher Stevens; directed by Fridrik Thor Fridriksson. (1995) — Duncan Shepherd
