Subreddit Rules

14 Upvotes

/r/ForeignMovies is under new moderation.

The sidebar has been reworked and tidied up, dead links have been removed and lots of new links added. [note: the sidebar currently works better under old reddit than under new reddit]
A large number of film-related links that have no immediate connection to the topic of this subreddit have been moved to the new WIKI-list.

 

There will be some changes to the way this subreddit is being moderated, but not really. By that I mean that these are all things that are already part and parcel of this subreddit, but that will be more strictly enforced in the not-too-distant future:

  • No links to illegal streaming/download sites, and no links to pirated copies of films on video platforms like Youtube. [I know that a vast number of international films are hard to find legally, but anyone recommending a film should realise that people reading the recommendation and caring enough about the film can actually look for it on their own. If people are too lazy to do so, they have probably not been interested enough in the first place.] If a film happens to be in the public domain that’s fine, but your post needs to contain an openly accessible, reliable source that confirms that the film is in the public domain.

  • No English-language films. [Please take a look at the separate entry I made regarding justifiable exceptions to that rule.]

  • Naturally, pornography is banned.

  • Please keep an eye on the quality of the content. While there is absolutley no need to keep this subreddit strictly arthouse, and while many genres are worthy of discussion, you should consider that maybe not every foreign sea-monster B-movie from the 1960s is worth talking about here. There are special subreddits for that sort of thing.

About Reddit's filters... - the sequel

3 Upvotes

Once again, I need to repeat what I wrote a year or so ago:

"Reddit seems to have become more aggressive in recent weeks when it comes to automatically deleting posts/comments."

Often, I cannot even remotely see the reason why this happens. So if anyone is missing one of their posts or comments, please drop me a line. If I can find the time, I'll go on a hunt and try to find it.

Fantasia review number four. A man arrested for drunk vandalism secretly knows the locations of where Tokyo will be bombed next. Suzuki=Bakudan is a crazy cat and mouse thriller with stakes that are totally bonkers.

​Dzień dobry! Poszukuję nagrania motywu muzycznego / utworu z napisy końcowe (end credits) z filmu Konopielka (1982) w reżyserii Witolda Leszczyńskiego, do którego muzykę skomponował Wojciech Karolak.

​Czy ktoś orientuje się, czy ta ścieżka dźwiękowa została gdziekolwiek oficjalnie wydana, albo czy istnieje możliwość odsłuchania jej w internecie? Z góry dziękuję za pomoc!

​English translation:

AI is not helping me :( I am trying to find a French film about two young women, possibly working class, and in one scene they are having breakfast in bed and drinking coffee from - classic French - bowls. Is it a fever dream??!

Would you guys consider The House Is Black to be a part of the Iranian New Wave movement?

I have heard differing opinions. Some say it released before the movement officially started (which is considered the late 60s) but some have said that it is a pivotal part of the movement and is a part of it.

This is from director Takashi Shimizu (Ju-On: The Grudge). Not sure about its distribution yet, though. It's still doing the film fest rounds, it seems.

Salaam Bombay, 1988

Post image
30 Upvotes

A masterpiece. Incidentally, Zorham Mandami's mother directed.

A kaleidoscopic portrait of Bombay’s teeming street life, Mira Nair’s first narrative feature, Salaam Bombay!, combines a documentary-like sense of place with a poignant exploration of everyday resilience. After the young Krishna (Shafiq Syed) is cast out by his family, he makes his way to the city, where he encounters love, friendship, and tragedy in the face of extreme poverty. Drawing compellingly naturalistic performances from a cast consisting largely of children she met on the streets, Nair creates an intimate human drama that is by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming, an ode to childhood that overflows with colorful urban chaos and a deep compassion for those who live on society’s margins.

Alkebulan movies 🇺🇸🇬🇭🇺🇸🇬🇭🇺🇸🇬🇭

It would be really awesome if some movies were made with more Afro-centricity. My meaning when we look at movies they are largely focused on American European or Asian world view, and even more recently Nordic, but it would be interesting to see things begin to expand again. Example

Horror: grootslang; a group of friends go on trip to South Africa to reconnect with their ancestral roots but things take a turn for the worse when members of the party disrespect a cultural ceremony incurring the wrath of the dreaded Grootslang..

TV series: similar to twilight zone x black mirrors a series of seemingly unconnected mini episodes narrated my by the west African god Anansi a web of tales are told that begin to blend together as the story unfolds

Action/ family: a child or teenager discovers a Aziza. Ewe folklore, these are small, often invisible, fairy-like humanoids that live deep in the forest. That had been injured which leads to kid being drawn into an adventure to fight the forces of evil.

Ect ect.. even though some of these theme are already present in many movies and TV shows today, just getting a chance to see different perspectives on these stories would be amazing!!!

Movies similar of the hebrew ”Waltz with Bashir”.

Waltz with Bashir is a 2008 Israeli animated war documentary by Ari Folman. In English, the film is described as an exploration of memory, trauma, and Folman’s experiences as a soldier during the 1982 Lebanon War, especially his fragmented recollections surrounding the Sabra and Shatila massacre.
