Jar City (Myrin) (15) Peterborough Arts Cinema, John Clare Theatre, Peterborough Central Library, Broadway, Thursday, 18 JuneBASED on Arnaldur Indridason's 2000 novel Tainted Blood, Jar City follows the dogged investigation of seasoned Reykjavik detective Erlendur (a suitably weary Ingvar Eggert Sigurosson) after a man is found murdered.
It's a pathetic scene that Erlendur comes across in the bachelor's apartment, and one gets a hint of the demons he has to keep at bay as he tiredly pronounces it a "typical Icelandic murder, messy and pointless".
With his partner Sigurdur li (Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson), a nervous type with suspiciously American habits (he's vegetarian, drinks lattes, and hates Erlendur's chain-smoking), the investigation is on, albeit with precious little to work on.
Tickets for the show cost 4 for members or 5 for non-members, and can be bought on the door of the cinema in the John Clare Theatre, at Peterborough Central Library, for 7.30pm. Visit www.peterboroughartscinema.co.uk
