What's the Last Foreign Language Movie You Saw?
Rudo Y Cursia film about two brothers who are soccer players in mexico
before that it was Wind Journeys about ignacio, a renowned accordion player in columbia. beautifully filmed
i get lots of foreign films from the library. my wife usually curls her nose up at them and yet likes them in the end
"Home" with Isabelle Huppert in French.It was disturbing and very good. It explored the definitions of home and sanity.
Ursula Meier directed it and she did a masterful job.
most films i see are foreign language (not dutch), but for the purpose of this thread i'll post my last non-english spoken film.
Thumbs up, but only if you can handle blood and Japanese weirdness.
Let It Rain and Skirt Day. both French and checked out from the library. I saw The Girl Who Played with Fire at a local arthouse. It was my favorite book of the series and the movie was excellent.
The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto en sus Ojos), the 2010 Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Language Film. A chilling, darkly comic, riveting thriller that will pull you into its' web, leave you mesmerized, and haunt you for days after.
You must see this film.
You must see this film.
Has anybody seen Micmacs? It''s by the director of The City of Lost Children and Amelie and Delicatessen with that same weird little French actor and I didn't even know it existed til I saw a preview for it on a DVD.
Gus wrote: "You must see this film."Since I like riveting and I like being haunted, I added this movie to my queue based on your recommendation. I think the last foreign movie I saw that I could describe as riveting was A Bittersweet Life (Dalkomhan insaeng).
I'm pretty sure it was Pan's Labryth, unless it was one of the Bergman films David had me watching, Smiles of a Summer Night was the most recent Berman, of that I'm sure.
Loved them both either way.
Loved them both either way.
I believe it was Life is Beautiful
Has anybody seen the Benigni movie Il Monstro? I think that one is absolutely hilarious.
Pan's Labyrinth... that was a great flick. The scene with that pale man-thing... *shudder*
I watched the Good, The Bad, and the Weird last night, a Korean semi-remake of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly set in China around WWII.

Pan's Labyrinth, it was an excellent movie.
Does Man on Wire count? It has a lot of subtitles.
I don't think so, Sarah, but, my goodness, what a fantastic documentary! I love how Man on Wire felt like a combination thriller and heist flick. I've seen it several times.
The Diving Bell & the Butterfly is next up on my cue. Now I'm having 2nd thoughts.

Larry lost his "Sally-to-Larry" translation device.
I thought it was Rhymes with Home on the Range.
Isn't that deranged, one thought it was strange and the other thought it was range, will it never change?

Hopefully, she doesn't have the maynge.[Just kidding, Aynge. Really. :)]

No more rhyming now; I mean it!
Amelia wrote: "No more rhyming now; I mean it!"You don't really mean it, you haven't stomped your foot yet :-)

Yes I am. it appears janine may been naming me again.
Come on, people! I know it wasn't a quote from a foreign language film, but it was a classic! Does NO ONE have the correct response?

Mine was TimeCrimes, a time travel thriller made in Spain, I think. It was pretty good, even if I'm not sure I understood exactly what happened at the "end." I hear they're making an American version.
I have The Diving Bell and the Butterfly in the DVD player now, but haven't started it yet.
