These are my foreign movie recommendations, incomplete and in no particular order. They typically are not suitable for children. Assume a R rating for each one.


FOREIGN

Camille Claudel. A french, subtitled movie about a female sculptor in the nineteenth century who was an apprentice to the famous Rodin. Beautifully acted and filmed drama.

Wings of Desire. A German drama about an angel that falls in love with a human woman and wishes he were human in order to love her.

Cyrano de Bergerac. A classic French drama about a robust, poetic soldier with an enormous nose who uses a handsome double to serenade a woman with his poetry.

Das Boot. German, subtitled, a story about German submarine crew in world war two.

Troi Coloures: Bleu. Three Colors: Blue. French, subtitled, about a woman who copes after a tragic car accident. First movie in the trilogy. The colours symbolize loosely the three tenets of French nationalism: liberty, fraternity, and elegality.

Troi Coloures: Rouge. Red. French, subtitled, a model returns an injured dog and develops a relationship with its elderly owner. Last of the trilogy.
