I watched 'Son of Saul' last night (Best Foreign Language film, 2016 Academy Awards)
I think it would be fair to say it's not exactly a date movie. The film focuses on the role of the Sonderkommando at Auschwitz extermination camp. It's a powerful and at times difficult film to watch. |

Watched 'Let the Right One In' recently.
It's a Swedish vampire film. This is not normally my favored genre, but wow, this is a great film. I thoroughly recommend it.

Watched a great Italian film, Don't Move last night. It's engaging, gritty and features some brilliant performances (including Penelope Cruz). That said, though I enjoyed it I found it hard to get past the central love affair between a man and a young girl who he initially raped....really????
Excellent soundtrack.

I love "The Secret in their Eyes" from Argentina. I believe it won an academy award for best foreign film around 2009.
Not only is it my favorite foreign film, its one of the best movies ever. Its a masterpiece. The thrills and twists and turns just floor you.

It maybe the best vampire movie ever made. Did you jump? |

Did I jump? If I'm totally honest with you...no. I never felt it was that sort of film. Maybe once or twice towards the end. I thought it was more about the story than out and out 'make you jump scary'.

Quote:
one particular scene which I won't ruin for anyone who hasn't seen the film yet. Same was true for the remake in that same scene as far as the jumping goes. |

I see foreign films all the time. I love Pedro Almodovar, those his last few films were disappointing to me.
Of possible interest to FM fans, Dreileben: Better Off Dead, is the first part of an experimental trilogy. The trilogy itself is fascinating but deeply flawed- each movie has a different director, with part one focusing on an incredibly beautiful man who is torn between two very different women, and he accidentally frees a suspected killer from police custody; part two is called Don't Follow Me and focuses on a policewoman tracking the suspect; and Part three is called One Minute of Darkness and focuses on the suspect himself trying to avoid capture. When I saw this in the theater, the Fleetwood Mac song Sara was played prominently during the engagement party scene, but when I saw it on DVD, Sara had been replaced by another song I had never heard before. I wish there was a way to find out why the song was removed. |
