In Reply to: Forbidden Games? Wow... posted by Victor Khomenko on November 06, 2002 at 17:52:48:
Highly recommended on this forum and I liked it very much so no need to crucify anyone here! :))Tonight will be Sanjuro if I have the time. The person at Hollywood Video said he enjoyed Yojimbo better.
They have many other other foreign films at Hollywood Video. Lots of martial arts more so than anything else though.
He mentioned another French film to try but I forgot the title to ask about it here. I did see a film on the shelf entitled "Red". Did you see that one? I'm going to do a search here to see if I find anything on that one so I may get my answer.
Follow Ups:
i was one that recommended forbidden games. of the ones you mentioned so far, i have that one and the seven samauri.forbidden games grabs you right from the start with the little girl losing her parents and carrying the dead dog. maybe it gets a little drawn out in the middle but the family characters are atypical and interesting.
the ending of this film is a killer. the loss that this child experiences is too much for me to bear.
red, blue, are more modern french films and i brought one of them home but only watched 5 minutes of it.
want to see a top foreign film of all time? they probably don't have it but the indian film 'pather pachali' is a must see. as tragic as 'forbidden games', the characters are even more ordinary and real. but it is also an artistic/philosophical achievement like a great work of art.
want a good italian film in an american action type genre? check out 'flight of the innocent'. action italian style (i.e., feelings too).
and a favorite italian comedy? 'johnny stecchino'. why the world loves robert begnigni. at least i do (but 'life is beautiful' was not a great film).
And all that time I thought it was I! :-))))))))))
I'll see what I can find. Thanks!
