When Rabbits Fly is a peculiar little film that dances on the edge of absurdity and poignancy. It’s about a family forced into the most desperate of situations, living in a cardboard box atop a towering building in Reykjavik—a bizarre yet striking setup that plays well with the film’s themes of desperation and familial love. The performances are raw and genuine, particularly Steingrímur, who embodies a kind of quiet resilience that draws you in. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but that only adds to the film's off-kilter charm. There’s a unique visual style here, with practical effects that amplify the strangeness of the family’s plight, making it a distinct piece in the indie film landscape.
This film has a somewhat elusive presence in the collector scene, as it hasn’t seen wide release on home media, making it a rarity. Most copies float around as digital downloads or obscure festival screenings. Its unconventional narrative may not appeal to everyone, but for those who appreciate offbeat indie cinema, it holds a certain charm. If you stumble upon a physical copy, it’s likely to pique the interest of collectors who appreciate unique storytelling.
