Godland Poster
Description:
Godland follows a Danish priest who travels to 19th-century Iceland to build a church and spread faith among a rugged frontier. On a grueling journey across lava fields, coastal seas, and isolated communities, he confronts cultural clashes, colonial arrogance, and his own spiritual certainties. With expansive landscapes, long takes, and a patient moral inquiry, the film probes faith, ambition, and the price of certainty amid awe-inspiring danger.
