Please check out my guide to foreign films (European ones), both classics and new ones. I'd appreciate any input! Thanks.
I feel cranky and pubescent today, and I don't know why. I'm going to take it out on people I like.
Great effort to attempt to convert the masses. Thankyou for taking the time to do this. He who saves one person from the hum-drum of mainstream Hollywood saves the world entire.
HELP ME!!! I need to know if I am alone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFzThGyt5vM
I'd be glad to read your article if you post the text here. I don't know that site, and my computer's health is much too important to me to click on sites I don't know to be trouble-free. I've already spent enough days of my life reinstalling my OS and all my software because of unfriendly web sites
I'm proud to say my poetry is only understood by that minority which is aware.
Nice short reviews that provide a good insight on important European films for newcomers. The only problem I have, and I picked it up right from the title of your post, is the annoying USA-centric view of the world that is perpetuated by your perspective of the world.
These films are only foreign to viewers from a different country than the film(s) in question. To Italians, Antonioni has nothing foreign, and to the French, Amélie (Poulain) is anything but foreign. That epithet is completely subjective and relative to the person(s) who write(s) and those who read. In 2014, it's more advisable to be as much inclusive as possible regarding the world. Art, including cinema, is more international and global as ever, and "foreign" is rapidly becoming.... foreign to the new world reality.
A friendly suggestion: instead of writing only for your compadres, just call these "foreign" movies, I don't know, "from outside Hollywood" or perhaps simply "From outside of the USA" or something like that where you don't take for granted that there are first and foremost the US and then, the others, the "foreign" things....
Don't take my remarks too hard: your reviews are very good and yours is a very worthwhile initiative!
P.S.: I'm also a foreigner .... but a close one (from Canada).
I tend to find that "non-English-language films" usually works well in the contexts in which I might otherwise be tempted to say, "foreign films", the following sentence excepted...
wouldn't Blow Up and Zabriskie Point be "foreign films" to Italians?
I'll do business with a red, but I don't have to believe one.
