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.[1] At its première in Iceland, it was met with wide success, even beating Avatar at the box office on its opening weekend.[2] It was watched by over 20% of the Icelandic population, which is a record for an Icelandic film, and won 11 Edda Awards.[3]

In the film, the title character's 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.[4]
