Dark Chick flick?

Saw "the Seagull's Laughter" the other night, it was fun. A dark Icelandic comedy of sorts, the main characters are all women so by some guy's definition it is a chick flick. However, this is not a tear jerker but an empowering film where "women are asserting their independence and men are keeling over." It not rated in Icelandic with English subtitles. I recommend it. The portrayal of life in a remote Icelandic village in the 50's is also interesting.

I was in Iceland once, not in the fifties though, but loved it with all my heart. Hey, and if you thought Chicago was windy, go to Iceland, and think again!!!
