Crossing Iceland (2021) is an intriguing documentary that follows Payson McElveen on his ambitious journey to traverse Iceland from coast to coast. It’s not your typical adventure flick, more of a meditation on endurance and the raw power of nature. The pacing is deliberate; it allows you to soak in Iceland's stark landscapes as much as the physical challenges McElveen faces. There's an authenticity to his experience that comes across, capturing the isolation and beauty of the terrain. You get a sense of camaraderie, even in solitude. The practical effects are minimal, relying mostly on the natural environment to create tension. It’s a unique exploration of human determination against a stunning backdrop. Something to ponder over for sure.
