The Front Line

Talking about 'foreign films', well America IS foreign to me & I can't wait for Princess Diana's biopic. I forgot the its name but the trailer was interesting.

Apparently Dodi was her rebound guy, she was really in love with some Pakistani doctor & was trying to make him jealous by dating Dodi. I loved her so I'll definitely watch the movie when it opens here.

A handful of my favorites in no particular order:

Mediterraneo (Italian)
My Life as a Dog (Swedish)
L'Ami de Mon Ami (French)
Picnic at Hanging Rock and Galipoli (Australian)
Cinema Paradiso (Italian)
Le Retour de Martin Guerre (French)

Oops want to add:

Europa, Europa (German)

I also have watched too many foreign films to count a majority of them were Japanese and Chinese.

Katyn was good. I watched the Dragon Tattoo movies in the original Swedish. There's an Aussie film called "Tomorrow When the War Began" that I really liked. Japanese films can be quite amusing, and I'm not completely sure about movies necessarily but I've gotten into a handful of UK television shows.

Rust and Bone (De rouille et d'os, 2012)

Last year's most impressive movie imo. A rather un-romantic romance, it's violent, raw, beautiful and very "contemporary"... it has street-fighting and amputee sex in it. In other words, it has something for everyone, lol.

One that was hard to watch :: Irreversible with Monica Bellucci, anyone see that?

I liked that film by the end. Only because of the chemistry. Didn't expect to like it... I thought it would be too much of a gimmick.

I found the rape scene harsh... I almost walked out.

Overrated & sensationalistic piece of artsy-poo imo....

But I want to see the director's follow-up "Enter the Void", can't figure out why I haven't seen it yet. Oh that's right, it's 3 hrs long and probably just as "sensationalistic2 as the first one.
