I tend to find that foreign language films are much more rewarding than American ones these days.

just one I saw recently " a seperation ".....an iranian film

 

an insight into everyday Iranian life and all it's complexities.(divorce ,sharia law,the legal system).

 

 

 

.The film plot is simple in that the male spends his time extricating himself from an accusation filed by a female looking after his disabled father. cinematography a bit flat..So why was it so good.... something I haven't seen in a film in quite a while ," humility".The film is compassionate and has a gentle sadness..about it.....

[Charlie J 10]

I'm with you on Pan's Labyrinth, it's an amazing film. I also greatly enjoyed Let the Right One In and the original of The Ring (not the US remake).

 

For a lighter film, I found Le Diner de Cons (The Dinner Game) absolutely hilarious.

[Nnathan 10]

Yep, The Dinner Game - original, French version was a riot. Just like Kung Fu Hustle.

Also good Korea's The Host.

 

if you've got a cool movie site to promote, try this.

All About My Mother is a classic

[Nagel 10]

My favourite foreign film is 'Blood Simple'. It was the first movie the Coen Brothers ever made and still their best. I also like just about anything directed by David Lynch.

TROLL HUNTERS

 

troooooooll

[hijas 10]

Amelié

Amores Perros

City of God

[Liam T 10]

For me it's

Three Kingdoms, really enjoy it's style of progressiong through a persons life and joy of making friends and tragedy of losing them in war. Is really sad how tragic the film is. While I have heard a lot of praise for Red Cliff which is I admit a good film, three kingdoms journey of

Let the right one in,

Battle Royal,

Death Note 1 and 2, maybe not the technical masterpiece but a very inreaguing story and plot twists and turns I feel unparalleled by most films.

 

Also I respect REC having seen it recently is a fantastic film, although I am not much of a horror fan.
