i got to figure a way to find a dvd/video foreign film place around here. i haven't seen any foreign films in a long time, except for a french film. it was horrible. it made me appreciate the woody allen joke about the french in his movie. but i am a fan of foreign films.ai- i couldn't get past the first five minutes. totally uninteresting idea of a robot replacing a dead child, if that is the film. that theme and the "emotion" of the parents lacked any appeal to me.
monster ball- fair. only about 10 years behind in racial issues. i thought cinema was suppose to be leading edge. but i did like one aspect of it: how the financial stability of the main actor was protrayed, and how it was a significant factor. he eventually showed other stability too.
and the kid was a great character too. i guess it wasn't too bad.
Follow Ups:
If you haven't seen foreign films in a long time, you miss a lot of good films and that list from my early post is just those from last year ...and my taste!Me too, I don't like french films, even if I live in a french city, Montreal, and have been a movie lover for some years. In most french films, the caracters just keep talking from the beginning through the end without any suspence, that's what I call in french "du cinema de bavardage",. If you ask what category french fims belong, I would say; " the category Chat".
films form spain are really bad too. years ago they had a italian film festival first, and then a film festival featuring spain (and portugal, i believe). i enjoyed the italian one as usual, and i was looking forward to the films from spain. they were all terrible. lots of bravado in the films.i guess i saw some african films as a festival too and that was good, very enjoyable. and i thoroughly enjoyed an icelandic film festival that i went too, especially after just having visited that country.
nowadays, with kids and everything, i'm just not motivated to go out of my way for foreign and avante garde films, although they were the films that i truly enjoyed.
maybe i'll start checking it out again soon.
