Can anyone name the song that plays... somewhere near the end? (I have the movie on Tivo, but it's not accessible to me as I write this; I think it's the song that plays as they drive into Reykjavik, having just arrived at Iceland. It sounds very familiar -- it's a non-English language -- starting with a simple piano figure, then strings, then a plaintive tenor warble -- it might be Sigur Ros, but for me to verify that I'd have to actually listen to Sigur Ros -- so can someone just name it for me?

Thanks in advance)

You are correct LuciaJoyce, it is indeed Sigur Ros (I just found it by sampling music clips from amazon.com). The song is called Staralfur. I liked it alot too and your post prodded me to seek it out as well, so thanks :)

Edit: I believe the song plays when he is escorting her to the airport as she is leaving Iceland. Great scene where Lawrence (Nighy) is screaming out his frustrations as this song plays and Gina's (Macdonald) plane takes off.
