A Blessed Event On the Sheep Farm

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Oct. 08, 2021 Entertainment
It's not your ordinary lamb, but then "Lamb" isn't your ordinary Icelandic indie film.

It's not your ordinary lamb, but then "Lamb" isn't your ordinary Icelandic indie film. It's a debut feature, by Valdimar Jóhannsson, that's extraordinarily well made, seriously strange and stars the superb Noomi Rapace, who was the fierce Goth hacker Lisbeth Salandar in the original Swedish version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
