Foreign Film Thread!

Spoorloos, City of God, Amores Perros, Man Bites Dog, Spirited Away & Grave of the Fireflies I highly recommend.

Man Bites Dog shouldn't be taken too seriously though.

I think it's called Brotherhood about the korean war if i remember rightly,really good war film.

Watched this pretty recently, bit OTT for my liking and a little weird at times but not a bad effort.

Think I'll go check out "Man Bites Dog" sounds familiar but doesn't ring any bells at the moment, Haha just googled it, never saw it before but looks crazy.

I'm desperate to see 'gomorrah', an italian film depicting the unglamorous nasty reality of the camorra (neapolitan mafia).

Haute Tension
Funny Games (1997)

Both fcuking terrifying (in a psychological way).

gomorrah is a good read,if slightly difficult to get into, due to the translation.The film is good.La Haine (The hatred) is my personal favourite,think it starred vincent cassell,fine actor!

A very long engagement is fantastic

also an Icelandic film called Jar city is very good.

oh and Three colours blue and Betty Blue,pure class!!

 

[Tell The King]
