Foreign Film Recommendations

[cardwell]

One of the best foreign films I watched last year was Chess of the Wind, newly restored by the World Cinema Project after being lost for years

Everyone knows the Hitler meme but I really enjoyed "Downfall" a lot.

Movies today wish they could have that level of tension.

Since we are all in with Michael Haneke here.

Caché and The White Ribbon watch pretty good too.

Can't go wrong with the Kurosawa to be honest wit chu

Kurosawa is always my answer.

See Ikiru, it's fucking transcendent. So of course Hollywood is trying to do a modern remake.

Ignore that and watch the original. Then wait a day and watch Sanjuro and Yojimbo to balance it out.

And when you find yourself questioning the sanity of Man, watch Rashomon.

Oh shit, how the Fuck can I forget German expressionism?

Can you stand silent films? Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, Faust, The Golem, Spies, Metropolis, and the Dr. Mabuse series are excellent.

Actually watched a version of Nosferatu that had I think it was either type o negative or my life with the thrill kill cult as the background music to the entire movie. It was actually pretty cool.

I think Deep Red is good but would've been better with different music. This is shot creepy but the music is more like an action soundtrack.

 

[Not bad]

The Man on the Roof, 70s Swedish giallo / police procedural. I mentioned earlier that Deep Red didn't have a good soundtrack, but this one gets it right.

Sunrise

I often forget that one because it's made in Hollywood - but, by famed expressionism director Murnau, if I remember right.

Still a hell of a movie.

I just saw that movie Dogtooth from Greece. Weird as hell and I loved it. I like non-Hollywood stuff because the directors basically get to make their own films. Does anybody have any foreign movie recommendations?

I saw the title of your post and thought of dogtooth as well. I know Korean films are getting a lot of press lately but they are all the same formula, plus Orientals have a fear of wet girls. Every horror movie of theirs is a wet girl

La Haine is fucking great. Good choice brothaman.

This was the movie that introduced me to Marion Cotillard.

If you have any interest in the magic of movie making as gay as that sounds Day for Night is the best movie about the making of movie. Pretty funny too. I had a dumb smile on my face the whole time I watched it.

I don't understand the sex appeal of Marion Cottilard. She looks like a wet fart on toast. Maybe it's because they have her in a bunch of stupid Christopher Nolan movies and that's the only thing I've seen her in.
