You get only ONE chance

Lots of people (Americans) say foreign films shouldn't be recommended to them. Maybe even most.


And up until that point, only five movies had been mentioned and one was American. That's pretty great representation for any one country.

Many Americans only know America.

Black Moon (1975)

This time loop will end, as we know it. That necklace is still moving forward in time, degrading and wearing. It's a like a person trapped on a train moving on a circular track. The train may never stop, but the passenger will get old and die. The necklace is well-worn when we see it. The passenger is already well-aged. Thus, we not only have a spin on the grandfather paradox , but we also have a paradox with an expiration date. What happens to the space-time continuum when this wheel stops spinning?

Corpus Christi, 2019

I like the looks of this one.

You should check it out. It's pretty weird and wild and wonderfully wacky.

Was the death of the badger real?

This sounds fun.

I'm honestly not sure. I couldn't find confirmation, one way or another,anywhere.

Neither could I. Unfortunately that's the one red line I don't cross with film...

I wish I could confirm it, though, as the movie sound very interesting otherwise.

My guess is yes.

I'm very sensitive to animal cruelty in film (in general, but it's a hard pass from me if it's unsimulated), and I don't remember thinking the death of the badger was real, but I also don't remember that part super well.

Okay, out of love I just rewatched the badger scene at half speed. Right before the car hits the animal, there is a noticable cut/jump. The car is clearly going by (but very close to!) the animal. Then it's an obviously stiff/fake animal and it's suddenly fully under the front tire, even though we just watched the front tire pass the real animal.

I think it's fake, though I do not approve of the stunt even if it is!

American Animals 2018

Underrated and underseen. Barely hear anyone ever talk about it, so nice to see it show up here.

The Feather Fairy (1985)

This is good to know, not only for the badger, but because I can never be sure if I ever saw the whole thing, but have never returned to it specifically because I didn't want to see that again if it was real. And my brain really accepted it as real
