    One of my favorite foreign films ever made. Yes the characters in this movie actually can be found in real life.

    Appealing snapshots a bustling Reykjavik nightlife, set a weirdly warming tone, cast against such incomprehensible human relationships! Enjoyable in the same mundane way that Hlynur is content in his greying existance.

    In spirit, 101 Reykjavík is so Almodóvar that it could melt the polar icecap.

    The tone of the film is in keeping with its most resounding image: Hilynur lying in the snow with a cigarette dangling from his mouth as the suicide note on his chest blows away in the wind as he wakes up.

    Accurately described as an Icelandic version of Pedro Almodovar's gender-bending black comedies -- but it's also reminiscent of early Woody Allen movies.
