No order just five great foreign films
I can see some favourites are emerging. Here's mine, in no particular order....
The Lives of Others
Cinema Paradiso
Pan's Labyrinth
Downfall
and.... Sergio Leone's Man with No Name (Fistful of Dollars etc) series of 'spaghetti westerns'.
Oh, and La Dolce Vita
This has at least reminded me that I must send back my Three Colours... trilogy, which has been sitting in my laptop case for weeks.
I am a little bit concerned that we no longer appear to consider America a foreign country.
However my top five would be
Ran
Cinema Paradiso (directors cut)
Diva
The Page Turner
Pauline at the Beach
Did anyone catch the rather charming french film "Orchestra Seats" on BBC4 last night? I came across it by accident, but it's well worth a look if its repeated ( and most stuff on BBC4 is).
Excellent. Give me a second.
- in no order, and there are more than five.
Let the Right One In
The beat that my heart skipped
The Pusher trilogy
Romanzo Criminale
Lilja-4 -ever
Breathless
Amores Perros
The consequences of love
