I saw the Italian film named Cinema Paradiso which is really good movie to watch. You will get idea about the Italian culture and the lifestyle in the movie. This is Oscar winning movie must watch for everyone.

Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low" and "The Bad Sleep Well".
Two classics from one of the greatest filmmaker of all time.

I like "in a better world" which won this years OSCAR for best foreign movie. The twoDanish boys who acted difficult parts were excellent

Tough to remember exactly what foreign films I ve watched recently. A safe bet would be "13 Assassins".

Don't like the foreign tag. International would feel more appropriate. I guess it's Pusher 2 for me. Adored it.

International includes domestic...so foreign is appropriate.

I feel like pulling a Holden and doing a feature on the Detroit Film Theater's upcoming season but that would be expensive...we'll see. Andrei Rubilev, Le Havre, The Mill and the Cross, a Moscow Swan Lake ballet, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, soooooo many good choices.

In the last month?

Lola (1961)
The Young Girls of Rochefort
Mississippi Mermaid
Belle de Jour
Viridiana
Sansho the Bailiff
A Town Called Panic
Diary of a Chambermaid (1964)

Yep, I've been on a Bunuel and Deneuve kick. I also watched Repulsion and Hustle.

BUNUEL!!!! The Detroit museum showed a double feature of two of his lesser known stuff from his Mexico era, still great. Where the hell did you find Diary of a Chambermaid?

Also yay on Sansho.

Criterion has the Diary of a chambermaid, if im not wrong.

Sansho the bailiff? Woot woot woot!:D How was it?

Re: Last great Foreign Film you saw
 
Which Bunuel? I saw almost all of Bunuel's '50s output by renting VHS tapes from Tower Records in the 1990s.

I rented Diary of a Chambermaid from Blockbuster.com.

Sansho the Bailiff was a spiritual film and got very powerful at the end. It reminded a bit of Ugetsu, but I need to rewatch that one. Now, let me ask this. What do you think of the "character" Sansho? Pretty enigmatic, huh?

Yeah but it's one of the more expensive out-of-prints from what I remember. Didn't think Blockbuster would carry that either.

They were Mexican Bus Ride and Illusion Travels by Streetcar

I almost thought nobody around here has watched Sansho...
