Anyone seen Kontroll? Haven't had a chance to see it...wondering if it's worth a watch.
Finally got a chance to see it last night.
I thought this was a great movie. Starts out a bit slow, but it's a dark and very satisfying flick. If you're into neo-noir, add this one to your Netflix queue.

It definitely wasn't as good as most of the foreign movies that I mentioned in this thread, I thought it was decent.
I thought Waltz with Bashir was much better as far as the story and animation goes. Or were you not digging the political angle of Persepolis?
Posted on 7/8/10 at 12:28 am to Afreaux
Sorry, I just got into this thread late obviously, but yea, I liked Waltz with Bashir a lot better. Quite an interesting story, still, i don't like the weird animation, but, oh well.
Hatred for Persepolis:
1. the black and white and animation made me so angry. I just couldn't stand watching it. I don't know why
2. It will always be associated with an ex-girlfriend who I semi-broke up with over this movie. She loved it, thought it was awesome, and couldn't accept me not enjoying it at all.
3. politics had very little to do with me not enjoying it. I didn't agree with most of the movie, but it really was the presentation.
Overall, i'm sure it affected others in a much better way, but for me, it was very, very dissapointing.

Sholay [1975]
Great movie, with one of the best movie villains ever. The highest grossing film in Indian movie history.

India's best-known "curry" Western combines elements of traditional and "spaghetti" Western epics in a film that was enormously successful in its time. When a former police chief vows to get revenge on a bandit, he hires two petty crooks to carry out his plan. It ran for 286 weeks straight (more than five years) in one Mumbai theatre, the Minerva. Sholay racked up a still-standing record of 60 golden jubilees (50 consecutive weeks) across India.

A Prophet trailer
quote:
After assaulting a cop, Malik earns a six-year prison bid. Though illiterate, the 19-year-old speaks French and Arabic. Instead of congregating with the Muslim inmates, he keeps to himself, providing a perfect target for Mob boss César, who makes him a Godfather-like offer he can't refuse: kill Reyeb, an Arab set to testify against the Corsicans, or meet his maker. At 149 minutes, A Prophet feels more like a miniseries than a movie, but there are no dead spots, no wasted moments, resulting in Audiard's most fully realized vision to date.

I really liked that movie, very dark.
Antibodies
Antibodies is also a dark film, very powerful conclusion. Smacks a bit of Silence in the Lambs in some respects, but is otherwise a movie you should add to your Netflix queue if you enjoy psychological thrillers.
quote:
Antibodies is a 2005 German Crime-drama-thriller directed by Christian Alvart and stars Norman Reedus, Wotan Wilke Möhring and André Hennicke.
Long wanted serial killer Gabriel Engel gets arrested in a spectacular police strike. Small town cop Michael Martens travels to the big city to interrogate him. He associates a brutal murder case with the killer's method and hopes to close the case by getting a confession from Engel. Instead the clash of the two totally opposite characters shakes Michaels beliefs to the ground, turning him into a dangerous threat to the people around him.

Not sure if anyone said La Ciudad De Deus (City of God). It is the best foreign flick I have ever seen.

I have to recommend this amazing Korean film.
quote:
Mother
Click Here to Watch Trailer
Just as South Korean director Bong Joon-ho's previous film, The Host, subverted the traditions of the giant monster movie to examine the effects of a crisis on a unique family, his latest effort, Mother, embraces the tropes of the murder mystery for an unsettling and affecting story of parental love taken to its extreme. Popular South Korean television actress Kim Hye-ja gives a powerful performance as a downtrodden acupuncturist whose mentally challenged son (Korean A-lister Won Bin) is accused of murdering a local schoolgirl. Bullied into a confession by the local police (led by Yoon Je-moon of The Host), the young man faces incarceration at a mental hospital unless his mother can discover the killer's true identity. Her inquiry leads her into classic noir territory, with perceived truths blown apart at every turn; in typical Joon-ho fashion, these discoveries are marked by moments of shocking violence, dark slapstick humor, and moving familial drama, which come together in a genuinely unique perspective on the nature of truth and commitment. The official South Korean submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 82nd Academy Awards, Mother is yet another entry on a growing list of exceptional motion pictures from one of the international scene's most intriguing filmmakers.
