Not generally a fan, as I tend to miss good visual stuff whilst trying to read the dialogue, but having just watched the Japanese detective in London series on BBC (can’t recall the name but ‘Duty / Shame’....made me think......
3 Downfall 2 City Of God 1 A Beautiful Life
All intriguing & engrossing. IMO

There’s one on Netflix where Hitler arrives in modern day Berlin through a time portal which is quite funny, it’s in German but I found after a couple of minutes I got used to reading the subtitles.

One from Japan, one from China, one from Korea:

Raise the Red Lantern is fantastic. He made some other great films at that time, like To Live, but he wouldn’t get away with them now.

This year we saw Yesterday and Green Book, with subtitles in French!!
But then that's what you get in rural France.

Amazon Prime offers a BFI Player subscription for about £5 a month. About two-thirds are foreign language, with the rest low-budget British and American. As well as all the great Werner Herzog films from the 70s, there's a few mentioned here - off the top of my head, Betty Blue and The Battle of Algiers - as well as some cheesey "transgressive" films from the 60s and 70s that haven't aged well (ahem, Salon Kitty). Worth a browse and maybe binge watching for a couple of months.

The Brotherhood of War. Korean film, a bit obscure but if you come across it you’re in for a treat. Quite a long film but I’d forgotten the subtitles after the first 5 minutes. Tae Guk Gi is the Korean title.
Strong and stable my arse.

The hospital scene in To Live where there is nobody left who knows how to perform an operation shows the consequences of the Goveist/Maoist 'We don't need no experts' doctrine.

One of them was to blame, certainly. My money's on the Chinese fella.

Another good one is "Metro Manilla". Very gritty and thought-provoking.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

On a related topic, BBC4 shows some great European drams at 9pm on Saturdays. The original Killing and The Bridge were excellent And we've just finished Series 7 of Engrenages (Spiral) which has been consistently gritty and interesting.

Most Nouvelle Vague films by the Cahiers du cinema directors especially Truffaut. Must echo La Bataille d'Algers and the lovely Emmanuelle Beart.. Also Le Beau Serge, Pan's Labyrinth, Intouchables, Il Postino, La Gloire de Mon Pere and Le Chateau de ma Mere. Night and Fog is a haunting film.

On yesterday's FT Politics Miranda Green mentioned that Gove kept a portrait of Mao on the wall of his office at the Department for Education. It's not that surprising when you consider that the only idea of the modern petit-bourgeois right is destruction.
Went to the game Saturday with an old mate who used to run some video-rental shops with a good number of art house titles. He said someone brought a film back once saying, “There’s something wrong with this one mate. It’s all in French. And there’s loads of writing along the bottom of the screen” He said to the bloke are you having a laugh? And the bloke said, “No I’m serious. Have a look at it”. He was indeed serious.
