About The Place
A promising high school kid is unjustly sent to the notorious juvenile prison of Iceland where he faces increasingly severe abuse from the head guard who is determined to brake his spirit.
Directed by Jakob Halldórsson, The Place leans on a strong ensemble — Ólafur Björn Tómasson, Stefán Hallur Stefánsson, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2009.
