PostSubject: International movies you have to watch!!   Wed 12 Nov 2008, 19:42

Why do I call this topic like that?
There are so many good movies that aren't blockbuster movies or known internationally by everyone. Here's the place to post those! (I started a topic with "Once", which didn't have such a great response)

I just watched a German movie called "Kirschblüten Hanami" (Cherry Blossoms).
Although I am from Germany I am not into our "moviescene" a lot, but this movie is so touching and sometimes heartbreaking. Elmar Webber is probably one of the best German actors and he won several prices for his performance.

Thank god I found a trailer with english subtitles. Hope you enjoy it and if you have the chance to watch it, have a try!

The Swedish film Låt den rätte komma in (or Let The Right One In) is superb.

I saw a brilliant French film on Sky Movies Indie the other week, I'll let you know what it was called when I remember!

EDIT: It was the brilliant Jeux d'enfants (or Love Me If You Dare)

hum I think you should all watch Ondskan (evil) it is one of the best swedish movies ever made. It is so terribly awful and heartbreaking and stupid and silly and lolvey and yeah. Good innit.
I sill have to watch Låt den rätte komma in (let the right one in), i've read the book (which is great) but has not seen the film yet.

You really should. At least before the Hollywood remake hits cinemas next year. Rolling Eyes

Personally I'm not a big fan of international movies, but this one is by far the best one I've ever seen. It's a war movie about a norwegian resistance fighter during World War II. Was so amazed by the quality of both the actors and the movie itself, enjoy the trailer (has english subtitles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbK4WTQFf9U
