Revenge is a dish best served cold…make it a feast with three hand picked recommendations from our rental catalog to check out after you stream A White, White Day at Facets Virtual Cinema, available now until May 28.

The latest from Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason, follows a grief-stricken man desperate for answers about his late wife’s affair. As an off-duty police chief getting up there in age, nobody suspects Ingimundur to be someone corrupted by desire for revenge. Classic thriller tropes and a distinctly Nordic arthouse sensibility are used to beautifully illustrate this underdog tale of revenge and unconditional love.
