Lamb (15A)

108 mins - Iceland / Sweden / Poland 2021 - Subtitles - Dir: Valdimar Jóhannsson
Noomi Rapace, Hilmir Snær Guðnason and Björn Hlynur Haraldsson

An audacious, genre-defying mix of horror and folklore, Lamb is the debut feature from Icelandic writer-director Valdimar Jóhannsson. A couple on a remote sheep farm find a mysterious newborn and decide to raise it as their own, but soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature. Winner of the Prize of Originality award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, and featuring a career-best performance from Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), this disturbing and uniquely unsettling cinematic experience is truly unlike anything you’ve seen before.
