The road movie is a genre associated with the American counterculture breakthrough of the late sixties, which both criticised the 'American way of life' and in a sophisticated way also strengthened the capitalistic system. Icelandic road movie uses the semantics and syntactic known from the American productions by combining them with national and transnational components. Marked by irony, the postmodern perspective of such movies as Julius Kemp's Blossi/810551, Fridrik Fridriksson's Cold Fever and Solveig Anspach's Back Soon may be read as a visual invitation to get acquainted with the touristic utopian image of Iceland. However, the close reading of these productions can also indicate that they may be regarded as cultural texts that attempt to deconstruct the inauthentic images of the utopian island.

In this article the author is looking for alternative explanation, why is Iceland still not a member of the European Union. He argues that the traditional arguments like dependency on fish export or economic reasons in general are no more valid and cannot fully explain Icelandic reluctance towards the EU. Iceland has changed and so did European Union. Export (and therefore also importance) of fish, as the main constraint on the way towards membership, decreased, but reluctance stayed the same. Therefore he assumes that we have to examine also other factors, for instance the traditions, norms, values or elites to get the whole picture. The author is using two theoretical approaches to support his assumptions. He claims that rational choice of neoinstitutionalism is a useful theory, but it is also convenient to use constructivist approach, which can explain also phenomena like the traditions, norms, values etc. The author applies these two approaches on the case of Iceland. He finds support for his hypothesis that there are the other reasons for Iceland for not taking part in integration into the European Union and those reasons can be explained in the constructivist terms. This article has three parts, in the first theoretical approaches are examined and in the second author shows, why the traditional arguments cannot fully explain Icelandic reluctance towards the EU. The third part examines the constructivist arguments and also offers several implications.

The article concentrates on the relations existing between Iceland and the European Union. The author presents the history of the relations, underlining the process of adaptation of Iceland’s law and realization of the areas of negotiation within the scope of satisfying the accession-related requirements. He has essayed to prove the resulting influence of the political situation on Iceland in the aspect of the country’s accession to the Community.
