This article discusses several motion pictures. The motion picture "101 Reykjavik," directed by Baltasar Kormakur, is a straightforward sort of movie, but its unabashed innocence and stylistic aplomb are wonderfully endearing. Equally pleasing is its refusal to follow the rules of niche marketing, which would certainly prohibit a single film from aiming so broadly. A brash young heterosexual male, his masculinity mangled by a pregnant girlfriend and limited prospects, gets his comeuppance. Another two motion pictures which are discussed in the article are "The Vertical Ray of the Sun," directed by Tran Auh Hung and "The River," directed by Tsai Ming-Liang.
