Hi everyone,
Is anyone interested in foreign films? I personally don't know much about foreign cinema, actually I don't watch much television period. I have heard from some of my friends that the German movie, "The Lives of Others" is really good and I was wondering if anyone had seen it? Do you recommend it? I am trying to expose myself to different films, independent films, foreign films etc. because I thought it was about time that I be more informed. I have been told that many times foreign films are much better than American produced films. They can really open your eyes to things we, living in the US, don't really experience or know about. Two weeks ago I did watch the Spanish film "Volver "and I fell in love with it, just because it was different from what I grew up watching on television. Is there any other films you guys would recommend?
Have a great weekend!!

I think many American films are very formulaic and uninteresting. These are some of the films/directors that I really like:
Hou Hsiao Hsien (Taiwan): "Three Times," "Cafe Lumiere," "City of Sadness"
Zhang Yimou (China): "To Live," "The Long Road Home"
Mikio Naruse (Japan): "When a Woman Ascends the Stairs"
Wong Kar Wai (Hong Kong): "In the Mood for Love," "Happy Together"
Abbas Kiarostami (Iran): "Through the Olive Trees"
Gillo Pontecorvo (Italy): "Battle of Algiers"
Milcho Manchevski (Macedonia): "Before the Rain"
Pedro Almodovar (Spain): "All About my Mother," "Talk to Her," "Volver"
You can rent many of these DVDs on Netlix or at Kims (on Broadway, between 113th and 114th).
here are some organization in NY that show foreign films that you may want to check out:
BAM - Brooklyn Academy of Music
Film Society of Lincoln Center
Film Forum
The New York Times and Village Voice do a good job of reviewing many foreign films too.
私もえいがが好きですが，NYのえいがかんはちょっと高いですね...(>_<)。あまりたくさん見られないから，ざんねんです。どこかで借りられないかなあと思います。
わたしはがいごくのえいががとてもだいすきです。友達といっしょにいっぱいえいがをみました。わたしはがいごくのえいがのほうがたのしいと思います。私の好きのがいごくのえいがのなまえがちょっとおぼえていません、でもこのえいがをみってください。またかきますよ。
