A few weeks ago, [livejournal.com profile] charlotteschaos and I were discussing our love of foreign films. Here are mine in no particular order.

1.) Raise the Red Lantern (Chinese) Directed by Zhang Yimou

My love for Gong Li knows no limits.

2.) Fairwell My Concubine (Chinese) Directed by Kaige Chen

3.) Seven Samurai (Japanese) Directed by Akira Kurosawa

4.) La Femme Nikita (French) Directed by Luc Besson

5.) A Better Tomorrow (Chinese) Directed by John Woo

Before JW got all shitty and Hollywood :P

6.) Pan's Labyrinth (Spanish) Directed by Guillermo del Toro

7.) Ichi the Killer (Japanese) Directed by Takashi Miike

All kinds of fucked up.

8.) Au Revoir, Les Enfants (French) Directed by Louis Malles

9.) Le Pacte des Loups (French) Directed by Christophe Gans

10.) Delicatessan (French) Directed by Marc Caro

Ponds, this movie is right up your twisted alley. *G*

Okay, so I know I'm missing A LOT. Ang Lee's stuff is definitely good. And there's House of Flying Daggers and CTHD and yeah... *sighs*

So what foreign movies does everyone else love? Feel free to suggest movies and bash my tastes. What the hell, y'know? *G*

I am glad that I'm not alone in thinking that Schnabel's artwork is a tad... overrated, ahem.

Yes, I had the un-pleasure of seeing it once in a touring exhibition. I stomped out of the museum in a foul temper, snorting at the gullibility of the local curators. (Though compared to Jeff Koons, Schnabel's an artistic prodigy.) And I agree that he ought to direct more. Basquiat's also good.

Bardem is out of this world. *_* He's one of those actors that can make mediocre movies great by his mere presence.

The solemn truth. The fact that he's gorgeous, of course, doesn't hurt. ;-)
