Summary: An off-beat road movie with breathtaking landscapes and dream-like imagery as shamed businessman Hirata travels to Iceland to perform a ritual at the site of his parents' untimely death. English, Japanese and Icelandic dialogue with English subtitles.

A charming, acclaimed Icelandic road saga about a Japanese man's spiritual quest through a snowbound landscape littered with winsome native inhabitants. Hirata is forced to cancel his annual golf trip in Hawaii in order to fulfill a Japanese tradition. He must travel to the river where his parents were killed in an accident seven years earlier and perform the necessary rituals that will finally lay their souls to rest. Ari Kristinsson's gorgeous photography elevates the seemingly lighthearted counter-cultural proceedings to a deeper, more soulful level. This juxtaposition, in the tradition of Jim Jarmusch's DEAD MAN, makes COLD FEVER a relevant, lasting experience.
