Cosy Dens
and Black Cat, White Cat
not Chezchia or Serbia yet, so they’ll be my picks for those countries
thanks brother
What country you want then, sen-pai?
done these so far, so anything outside of them!
already seen it years ago, wouldnt mind another insane japanse body horror for this tho if you got more recs
The Rapeman 3 for Japan.
From France I suggest "Raw" (original title is "Grave"). From Argentine, "Wild Tales" ("Relatos salvajes"). Have fun watching!
INSANE you suggested Raw, just watched it yesterday for France
I loved Titane so i had high hopes but i was pretty disappointed tbh
The actual state of the worst nation for film
Tetsuo: Iron Man for full Japanese schizo breakdown.
It feels like putting a pot on your head and banging it with a steel rod for an hour.
Babette's Feast
Hungary — Kontroll
Croatia — Sorry about Kung Fu
Greece — Dogtooth
Turkey — Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
Mongolia — Story of the Weeping Camel
Bhutan — A Yak in the Classroom
India — A Passage to India
Thailand — Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
Anatolia and Uncle Bonmee were already up, so I’ll defs give those others a look
thanks homie
also is Dogtooth worth it for Greece if I hated The Lobster and Sacred Deer?
Maybe not, but of all his stuff it’s by far his most Greek.
If you don’t like him, watch something by Angelopoulos instead. Landscape in the Mist maybe
Yes, it is.
>Kontroll
great suggestion
Ahh yes, David Lean, famous Indian director
Far better than any poo.
Doubt. India has Satyajit Ray, Mani Kaul, Govindan Aravindan. I think a better comparison you could have made is comparing countries instead of directors. Britain would come out on top no question. The amount of Bollywood slop thats out there is pretty crazy. It's like they're street vendors; something one would never want to partake in.
Brazil - O Alto da Compadecida
>O Auto da Compadecida
Fix’d
Follow the instructions in the screencap. Brighter Summer Day is a sweeping four hour epic and easily the best out of Taiwan.
Those are my instructions man, and this movie breaks ‘em! No Yang!
Also I’ve already done Taiwan aye
If there is one Estonian film to watch, this is the one.
I’ll throw some in:
Romania - Aferim!
Bulgaria - The Peach Thief
Zambia - I am Not a Witch
Senegal - Xala
Brazil - Black Orpheus
China - Suzhou River
Georgia - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
Denmark - The Hunt
Sweden - Insomnia
Portugal - Arabian Nights (if you have the patience)
festen for denmark

Russia -- Tsar (2009)

Greece - Suntan
Hong Kong - Righting Wrongs
Italy - Investigation of a citizen above suspicion
Japan - Crazy Family

This is honestly kinda interesting, the world map on letterboxd is a fun tool that I don't use that often. Like apparently there are only 22 films from Fiji, 62 from Moldova, 29 from Turkmenistan. Have fun with this project
The map isn't hugely accurate because for a film to count as being from a country, it has to have a studio attached to it that is registered in that country. So *Hot Fuzz* is a French movie because it was produced by StudioCanal.
Revenge from Khazakstan for an unpopular country
USA - The Dark Knight Rises
O Cheiro do Ralo is my rec for Brazil. It's about one guy who's basically Cinemaphile incarnate and his obsession with some woman's ass.
For Portugal, check out The Portuguese Falcon (2015)
Chilean here, watch Young and Wild
