Ah, the novel had missed my radar entirely until now, thank you!

Recently I've been enjoying films that cover little niches of the world, geographic or otherwise, that I know nothing about. Another good example is Premium Rush (2012). I don't know if there's a name for this genre, as on the surface the films look nothing alike, and can vary wildly in quality, but there's just something engrossing about them.

In that case, check out Rams (2016) [1]. An Icelandic film about two estranged, elderly brothers who work as sheep farmers in a remote location, until a crisis occurs. Beautiful little film; great photography and music.
