Iceland has been making pretty good movies over the last couple of years. 101 Reykjavik, the Icelandic dream, and of course, Angels of the Universe...
But before that, all we really had was this... My favourite Icelandic movie!!! The dialog was both incredibly stupid and hilarious, yet somehow believable. I especially liked the three mobster wannabes: "Unnur... Unnur... mmm"
Well, I guess you have to be from Iceland to find it as funny as I did... Much of the dialog is almost impossible to translate.
