Y a estos añadí:
- Idioterne
Denmark / Sweden (1998); Directed by Lars von Trier
A few years ago Idioterne also known as Dogma 2 became a cult for these who were not afraid to say that Yes, sometimes we all freak out so why should we get confused if someone does this intentionally? The act if idiotizing might be just an act of agony: how we started, where we’ll end? - Chekhovskie motivy
Ukraine / Russia (2002); Directed by Kira Muratova
I bet you haven't watched many Ukrainian movies. This one will be a real challenge for your patience and perceptions. 120 minutes in black and white, soft domestic scandals, hectic and Orthodox wedding ceremony, rich nouveau people searching the romance in the lost province, ordinary people searching their way to the so called civilization.
indeed, there are so many amazing non-us movies
ReplyDeleteit is a pity that many of them do not reach the wide screen popularity of the hollywood blockbusters
