Just watched “A Private Life,” a French thriller starring Jodie Foster whose French - to my English ear, anyway - seemed impeccable. More importantly, her acting, as usual, was outstanding. I’m surprised she didn’t receive an Academy award nomination for this role. The plot was complex and clever, and even surprisingly humorous. Highly recommend!

Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight
Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight is a tender and innocent story of love and heartbreak from South Korea. Unlike a lot of very lengthy material we get as K-drama, this is a movie and can be seen in under two hours. It's a beautiful movie.

Donald #Trump, in his latest episode of "How Can I Make This More Dramatic?," slaps a 100% #tariff on foreign films 🎬 because apparently, watching subtitled movies is un-American. 🍿🇺🇸 Meanwhile, #Hollywood is throwing a fit, wondering if they need to start shooting "Fast & Furious 27" in space to avoid these tariffs. 🚀

I can't stop thinking about Agnès Varda's 2000 documentary "Les glaneurs et la glaneuse," which begins with this image: Varda posing as one of the famous paintings she shares. The film delves into modern gleaning: people gleaning potatoes, a gourmet chef who gleans herbs, salvagers (urban gleaners) gathering food, artists collecting sculpture parts, and Varda herself: a gleaner of images. Utterly brilliant, filled with respectful curiosity.

The Teachers’ Lounge, a German high tension drama
A German middle school teacher sets off a tense drama by secretly recording a theft in her school. The Teachers' Lounge (Das Lehrerzimmer) shows how a well intentioned attempt to solve a problem can lead to a huge crack in the social fabric of a community.
In The Teachers' Lounge, Leonie Benesch plays the idealistic math teacher Carla Nowak. She's young and full of excellent ideas for reaching her students. But the school is on edge because of numerous petty thefts. With typical classist [...]

When Americans talk about foreign films it is usually a short-hand for movies that has dialog in a #language other than #English (which at times has included Australian films - e.g. the original Mad Max).
What is surprising is that many people in other countries have vaguely the same definition (excepting their own language). So in an #Icelandic #VideoStore the majority of titles were in English and then a section for "foreign films". Of course there are so few Icelandic films that a shelf was enough for those. Kids films were the only ones which were dubbed so that was another section entirely.
The ubiquity of #Hollywood made English language films into a separate category, not domestic, not foreign.
We used to have Icelandic titles for every film, including #Hollywood stuff. So Jaws was known as "Ókindin" which is actually fantastic because it sort of means "not a sheap" (though the real meaning is monster). Then there came a point when most people (at least the movie-going ones) understood what Lethal Weapon meant so it was silly to refer to it as "Tveir á Toppnum" (two on the top). We often did pronounce things with an Icelandic tilt so I sometimes slip into a weird accent when referring to films such as Terminator (Ter-mean-ah-tor with rolling Rs).
The side is was that many "international" films are known primarily by their English titles. I have no idea what is the original title of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and we didn't really use an Icelandic one. If I know the original it is because it was known by that title in the USA. So I known Rashomon and Yojimbo (but not Rashōmon or Yōjinbō). I do try to combat this tendency of mine by using the original or an Icelandic translation but I often end up having to clarify my meaning by using the English title.
If I had a point I would add it here but I am basically thinking by writing. Sorry to disappoint you.
