The Jitters (Órói) Movie Trailer has premiered. Jitters (2010) is directed by Baldvin Zophoníasson and stars Atli Oskar Fjalarsson, Hreindís Ylva Garðarsdóttir, and Gísli Örn Garðarsson. Jitters (Órói)‘s plot synopsis: “On a trip to England, Gabriel meets Marcus, a free thinking, rebellious teenager. After returning home, it becomes clear to his family and friends that Gabriel has changed. A series of unfortunate events causes Gabriel’s best friend Stella to take her own life. Devastated by Stella’s death, Gabriel falls into a black hole of despair and begins to reevaluate his life, which ultimately forces him to reveal his agonizing secret.” I am a fan of gritty teen dramas: Hard Candy, Thirteen, Brick, Afterschool, Water Lilies (Naissance des Pieuvres), etc. Jitters – based on two books by writer/actress Ingibjörg Reynisdóttir – looks right in line with these films, both in imagery and the hard direction of the plot. Jitters was released in August 27, 2010 in Iceland. No word when it will be released in the US.
