Music help on this trailerCan anyone tell me what the music is on this trailer...thanks. Great movie and worth downloading and watching on Itunes..Score: 5/5

Don't judge a movie by its trailer...I love this movie! But I love Scandinavian mysteries and thrillers anyway. The book is outstanding and I highly recommend it and the movie did it great justice in my opinion. It has been a long time since I was last in Iceland and this movie made me realize why I love Scandinavia so much. The people and the land are one. There is a seamlessness in the culture and that with the land. The land is the people and the people are part of the landscape. This is a police procedural but also a look at the inside of the persons involved. Which is very typical of Scandinavian mysteries. To look inside the crime and find the humanity of it..Score: 5/5

Music in trailerHi Chuck. The music in the trailer is an Icelandic song called Til er fræ. It's also on the soundtrack to the movie (which has some great songs by an Icelandic men's choir--really ominous and moody). Unfortunately iTunes doesn't carry the soundtrack but you can get it at icelandicmusic dot com. Just search for Mýrin (the name of the movie in Icelandic). Also, this is such a lame trailer. The movie is far better than the trailer. It's crime procedural, but it also gets at aspects of Icelandic society—bleakness of winter, the importance of independence and self-sufficiency, dark humor, etc. Anyway, you will feel cold and wet by the time you finish it, which is kind of like walking around in Reykjavík in January. Mos def not fodder for an uplifting evening, but a good flick overall..Score: 5/5

Grim/bleak/weirdThese people are grim. Their homes are rust-stained cement with a savage sea thrashing a few feet away and a stinging sea wind making the doors flap. They have never once been warm. They eat half a boiled sheep's head for dinner starting with the one eye. Lots of things stink. Decades of brain tumors, murder and stink are compressed by Icelandic bleakness into crystals of grim discoverables..Score: 2/5

Český
Zoufalý muž pátrá po genetickém původu mozkové choroby, které podlehla jeho dcerka. Samotářský detektiv vyšetřuje vraždu starého podivína, jehož pohnutá minulost mění zdánlivě běžný případ v bizarní mystérium. Obě příběhové linie se postupně proplétají v divácky nejúspěšnějším islandském filmu všech dob, nejnovějším snímku Baltasara Kormákura.

Deutsch
Der Mord an einem Lkw-Fahrer aus Nordermoor gibt Kommissar Erlendur Rätsel auf. In der Wohnung des Toten findet der Ermittler das vergilbte Foto vom Grab eines kleinen Mädchens. Die Exhumierung der Kinderleiche birgt eine Überraschung: Das Mädchen wurde damals ohne Gehirn beigesetzt. Das Organ wurde zu Forschungszwecken präpariert und lagert seither in einem zentralen Genlabor. Der packend inszenierte Islandkrimi fasziniert durch seinen skurrilen Humor und seine überwältigenden Landschaftsbilder, die diesem Film eine unverwechselbare Atmosphäre geben.

Français
Inspecteur à Reykjavik, Erlendur enquête sur le meurtre d'un vieil homme apparemment sans histoire. La photo de la tombe d'une petite fille retrouvée chez la victime réveille pourtant une affaire vieille de quarante ans. Et conduit Erlendur tout droit à Jar City, surprenante collection de bocaux renfermant des organes, véritable fichier génétique de la population islandaise...

Español
Película compuesta de dos historias basadas en la novela criminal de Arnaldur Indriðason: la primera, sobre un hombre que irrumpe en una base de datos genética de una información médica sobre gente islandesa. Tras haber perdido a su hija por una enfermedad hereditaria, intenta trazar sus propias raíces. La segunda historia trata sobre la investigación del asesinato de un anciano que conduce a una prueba forense poco común, desvelando secretos guardados en la genética de toda la nación.

Nederlands
Erlendur is een inspecteur van middelbare leeftijd met een dochter met wie hij een moeizame relatie heeft. Hij onderzoekt een IJslandse moordzaak zoals hij er zovelen heeft gezien, meestal het gevolg van een dronken ruzie. Bij deze zaak stuit hij op een grotere kwestie, die al enkele generaties speelt.

עִבְרִית
בתו של אורן מתה בעקבות מחלה גנטית נדירה. אבל הפעם ארלנדור צריך למצוא את הרוצח של הולדברג. הוא צריך לגלות מה קרה לפני 30 שנה ולקשר את זה למקרה שלו, ויש לו עוד בעיה... הקרבה שלו לבתו.

Polski
W piwnicy pewnego domu zostają znalezione zwłoki zamordowanego starszego mężczyzny. Zostaje wszczęte śledztwo, jednak inspektor Erlendur nie posiada żadnych wskazówek, oprócz znalezionego na miejscu zbrodni zdjęcia grobu pewnej dziewczynki. Wkrótce okazuje się, że dziewczynka ta zmarła na zagadkową chorobę 30 lat temu.

български език
Отблъскващият град разказва за едно разследване на детектив Ерлендур. Той работи над случай, който смята за типично "объркано и безсмислено" исландско престъпление. Когато местен несретник е намерен убит, Ерлендур и двамата му партньори методично изследват уликите и скоро откриват, че вероятно са замесени по-влиятелни и тъмни сили. Наблизо в същия район един баща оплаква дъщеря си, починала от генетично заболяване и трескаво се опитва да открие повече информация за причините.

Magyar
Egy genetikai kutatóintézet alkalmazottja elkeseredett kutatásba kezd a hivatalos iratok között, hogy magyarázatot találjon kislánya agybetegségének eredetére. Ezzel párhuzamosan Erlendur nyomozó vizsgálatot indít egy öregember meggyilkolásának ügyében, aki meglehetősen bizarr életet élt sötét alagsori lakásában. Ez az első látásra teljesen szokványosnak tűnő eset összekapcsolódik egy harminc évvel korábbi rejtéllyel, ami egy négyéves kislány halálát lengi körül. Úgy tűnik, a gyilkost csakis a magányos farkas, Erlendur kerítheti kézre (akinek eközben drogfüggő lányával is rendeznie kell viharvert kapcsolatát), bármilyen árat is fizessen érte.

普通话
  三十年前冰岛犯罪三人帮成员之一的霍贝格在自己的家中被人杀死,警员艾尔兰多与(Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson 饰)两名搭档负责此案,现场一张墓地的照片引起艾尔兰多注意,循此线索,艾尔兰多揭开一桩陈年强奸案幕后真相。与此同时,她的女儿伊娃沉溺放纵的生活,未婚先孕而竟不知孩子的父亲是谁。   随着调查不断深入,艾尔兰多发现此案的起因是一种罕见的遗传病,那宛如天谴的悲剧宿命,似乎从一开始就注定。   本片获2006年冰岛艾达奖最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳男主角、最佳男配角、最佳音效(配乐)奖,卡罗维发利国际电影节水晶地球仪奖。

Pусский
Глава семьи, в которой случилось страшное несчастье - смерть пятилетней дочери из-за генетической мутации её мозга - пытается найти корень зла. Параллельно инспектор Эрлендур отыскивает спрятанную в квартире убитого пожилого мужчины фотографию могилы умершей тринадцать лет назад маленькой девочки и идёт по следу.

ελληνικά
Ένας ηλικιωμένος άντρας βρίσκεται δολοφονημένος στο υπόγειο διαμέρισμά του. Ο επιθεωρητής Έρλεντουρ και η ομάδα του δεν έχουν σχεδόν καθόλου στοιχεία για να ξεκινήσουν την έρευνα, όμως μια φωτογραφία του τάφου ενός νεαρού κοριτσιού τούς δίνει μια πρώτη ένδειξη. Ανακαλύπτουν ότι, πριν από πολλά χρόνια, το θύμα κατηγορήθηκε για φρικτά εγκλήματα αλλά τελικά δεν καταδικάστηκε. Μήπως το παρελθόν του γέρου επέστρεψε για να τον στοιχειώσει;
