Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a worthy winner, absolutely fantastic film. @CitizenRules I watched it with my husband and he enjoyed it as well. Amusing to see Age of Shadows and Assassination show up...

Still annoyed that I watched Borgman for nothing.

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

I thought it was 3 hours. Must have remembered that from a previous HoF rather than checking this one. I actually rejected a couple of possible noms because I thought they would be too long :lol:

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

The film I'm struggling with is Assassination, as it doesn't seem to be available on DVD or streaming in the UK at all.

**BASICALLY ALL SPOILERS**

I think that as new immigrants, with the mother rarely able to speak English, they didn't really know what their legal position was.

Agree with you about the music in this film, by the way, it...

True, none of them were pleasant people, but it still seems out of proportion. And it's more the gardener I was concerned about. If Marina's 'sin' is employing a nanny and a gardener then the same...

I really feel like that might be the case with Borgman, what with him living underground and collecting followers. The name is similar to bogeyman but there's probably some cultural resonance there...

I’m a bit sorry to be the first person posting about this film because I didn’t really like it!
