Grand Finale

Grand Finale (Fullt Hús, 2024) is a pitch-black Icelandic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A struggling chamber orchestra in a rundown Reykjavik theatre is about to lose its city grant for good.

To stay alive, the players gamble on a world-famous cellist. The press goes wild, the money flows back — and then the star turns out to be a groping, two-faced creep nobody can stand. Worse: fifteen minutes before the concert that will save everything, he chokes to death backstage. So the orchestra makes a deranged choice and walks onstage to perform with a dead soloist propped up among them. Director Sigurjón Kjartansson keeps the laughs dry and squirming.
