What movie in a second language do you really love?

Mine is Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai

Afterlife is a Japanese movie beautifully executed. One of my favorite movies.

Pan's Labyrinth.

It's an early Guillermo Del Toro movie. It's in Spanish. It's partly a political war movie, partly a fantasy movie and a human tragedy. If Narnia and Land and Freedom had a child, it would look like this.

That sounds like it shouldn't work but it really does.
It's brilliant.
@Burnley123 Great movie and very good description.

@Burnley123 One of my favourites. The end scene is heartbreaking.
I've been in love with This film, and the English version "Vanilla Sky" since I first saw them.

pretty much every movie in English is in a second language to me 😏
val70 · 56-60
@Elessar Me too, but I had to phrase it that way :)
Pan's Labyrinth


The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo

Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? This one is fun. It is a comedy about an interracial, interfaith, and international wedding and the upper class white Catholic parents of the bride being forced to confront their prejudices, culture shock, and the colonial history of France gets thrown in their face.

Funny af.
I love most Mads Mikkelson movies. Especially the indie stuff.

@DrawntoaDistance Yes, that's a good choice too :)

If you like action movies with some fun and lots of Parcour Banlieu 13 and Banlieu 13 Ultimatum are great fun.

The second one is technically a sequel but both stand alone just fine and you don't need to see the first one to understand what is going on.

It does help understand the kind of Cyberpunkish near future of the setting though if you have seen the first one.

"Seven Samurai" put the whammy on me as a kid. It’s that movie that made me understand the role of the director.

In the 90's I was very much into the Hong Kong cinema. Being still a British colony, all the video tapes had English subtitles. The streaming service Tubi, has access to Spaghetti Westerns which I find entertaining.

I don't like Norwegian movies (my native language) so the list is very long 😅

Werner Schroeter's Deux, not suitable for those under 18 though, just fair warning!!
