Bjarnfreðarson
''Bjarnfreðarson'' is a 2009 Icelandic comedy film directed by Ragnar Bragason, director of the TV series trilogy consisting of ''Næturvaktin'', ''Dagvaktin'' and ''Fangavaktin'', to which it is a sequel. At its movie premiere, première in Iceland, it was met with wide success, even beating ''Avatar (2009 film), Avatar'' at the box office on its opening weekend. It was watched by over 20% of the Icelandic population, which is a record for an Icelandic film, and won 11 Edda Awards. In the film, the title character's Icelandic name, name is the subject of some mockery for his having a matronymic – as Bjarnfreður's son – rather than a patronymic. In the film this is connected to the mother's radical feminism and shame over his paternity, which are part of the film's plot. References External links
