Memphis

Running 12m and made in Iceland, Memphis (2002) is a film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Benedikt Erlingsson and Ragnhildur Gísladóttir; Þorgeir Guðmundsson directs. To start with we are led to believe the setting is a country-hotel of some sort. In the end we discover this is a State Rehabilitation Facility and everything that happens is a carefully orchestrated escape plot by some of the inmates. The film was shot on location at an isolated boarding school in Saelingsdalur in the west of Iceland. The school is used as a hotel during the summer months but the film takes place in the wintertime.
