Run Lola Run. Damn, a hell of a film. It reminds me of the refreshing quality of foreign film and decentralizes my perspective so I can be reminded that film is not purely American-centric. There are other countries making films. Which brings me to my question of the day, what are people’s favorite foreign films? Here are some of mine
(In no particular order)
Blue is the Warmest Color
8 1/2
Once Upon A Time In the West
Y Tu Mama Tambien
The Hunt
Amelie
CIty of God
Run Lola Run
The Holy Mountain
This list just reaffirms that i’ve got to start watching much more!
Some of my favorite ones which I watched while I was abroad studying in Greece, were:
East Is East (1999)
Damien O’Donnell
La Haine (1995)
Mathieu Kassovitz
The Edge of Heaven (2008)
Fatih Akın
You listed some really great movies. Blue is the Warmest Color, City of God, and The Hunt are all some of the best movies I have seen and I enjoyed them all thoroughly. If you are looking for some more to watch I suggest:
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (Very sad)
Anti-Christ (Very messed up)
Das Boot
These are just some that I enjoyed and maybe you will like them as well.
