April, The particular part of G'MIC I'm referring to is "Film Emulations". There are quite a few different emulations for various film stocks that may get you what you are looking for color-wise.
Bear in mind that the 'darkness' to the images in your first post are due to a combination of processing as well as the exposure conditions at the time. Your sample images have quite a bit of direct sunlight in them, which makes it a bit harder to impart a sense of 'darkness' in them. Here's a quick (<5min) edit to show what I mean: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_BBemcslfSU/VGDsLkisGxI/AAAAAAAASOI/qDOQTfGc6RA/s0/april-1.jpg I used one of the film emulations (I don't remember now). Masked her to and raised the curves to lighten her slightly. Added a vignette. Then crushed the shadows a bit and lifted the black point (in the levels dialog - bring the input black level up, then raise the black output level to taste).
