50 Essential Foreign Films 2000-2008 (Part 1) - Spotlight on French Cinema

2 September 2009 4:17 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Films on the cutting edge. That's how I would describe the 50 movies on this list. While some moviegoers may find it an 'alien' experience to refer to sub-titles in understanding what's happening on the big screen, a good number of audiences are totally enjoying the different and often surprising take by many foreign filmmakers, nothwithstanding the language barrier.

Content-wise, the 50 movies feature stories about war and peace, love and romance, family affairs, coming-of-age tales, cultural and religious diversity, social issues (including prostitution and abortion) and personal - celebrating life or facing death with dignity. Coverage-wise, tMF list down many of the best foreign films from 2000 until last year from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and about 15 other countries in Europe, North and Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

Ricky Review

28 June 2009 12:05 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

When I first saw the trailer for Francois Ozon’s latest film I laughed out loud at the seemingly preposterous premise. An ordinary couple have a baby that sprouts wings and flies around their living room – and seemingly this was meant to be a serious drama. As with his previous films such as Swimming Pool and Under The Sand, however, things are never so clear cut and the lines between fantasy and reality in Ricky quickly become blurred, both for Ozon’s characters and his audience.
