Red Meadows is translated, too.

I know. I should watch it already.

Lăutarii (Loteanu)
Heavenly Gypsies (Loteanu)
To Love... (Kalik) (wife translated this and I did the timings)
Sandu Follows the Sun (Kalik)

That's what I got! Not too many subbed Moldovan movies out there.

Not many for this year either: Roma Burning Ayka Shoplifters The Public How Fernando Pessoa Saved Portugal Green Book (yeah, I liked it, and I don't care what all you haters say - and now, for your edification, THE ATTACKS ON GREEN BOOK AND THE RACIALIST INFECTION OF THE AFFLUENT MIDDLE CLASS by Dav...

Haven't seen many, probably won't see more, but this what I got: Sir Arne's Treasure (Stiller) Song of the Scarlet Flower (Stiller) Sons of Ingmar (Sjostrom) The Fairy of Solbakken (Brunius) True Heart Susie (Griffith) A Dangerous Proposal (Carlsten) The President (Dreyer) Broken Blossoms (Griffith)...

Would like to have seen more, but I'm on the road. City Lights (Chaplin) M (Lang) Tabu (Murnau) David Golder (Duvivier) La Chienne (Renoir) Alone (Kozintsev & Trauberg) Frankenstein (Whale) À Nous la Liberté (Clair) The Congress Dances (Charell) The Upright Sinner (Kortner) Mädchen in Uniform (S...

Lot of good movies, '31. Germans especially - and there are several of theirs I haven't seen. It's been awhile since I've seen some of these. Will narrow to 20 later. City Lights (Chaplin) M (Lang) Tabu (Murnau) David Golder (Duvivier) La Chienne (Renoir) Alone (Kozintsev & Trauberg) Frankenstei...

Late reply. I'm one of those poor souls got whacked with the hurricane/power outage in SE USA. Fortunately I'm soon to depart from this crumbling thirdworld nation. Chunhyang (Im) Yi Yi (Yang) A Time for Drunken Horses (Ghobadi) The Guava House (Đặng) The House of Mirth (Davies) Life As a Fatal Sexu...

I quite liked SONG OF TIBET Xie Fei's last film to date, and THE CHILD AND THE SOLDIER (Reza Mirkarimi) - they'll both make the final list, I think - but don't know if they'll be up the alley of folks here. Although Jonathan Rosenbaum listed the latter in his 2000 Top Ten, and I know what a god JR i...

I've seen a fair number of Macedonian movies. They tend to be pretty dark. Dark... and stony. Aside from aforementioned WE'RE CURSED, IRINA these ones I like: The Price of a Town (L. Georgievski, 1970) Mountain of Wrath (Georgievski, 1968) Under the Same Sky (Georgievski & Stamenković, 1964) Thr...

Eh. Something like this: Chunhyang (Im) Yi Yi (Yang) A Time for Drunken Horses (Ghobadi) The Guava House (Đặng) The House of Mirth (Davies) Life As a Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease (Zanussi) A Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors (Hong) Platform (Jia) The Day I Became a Woman (Meshkiny) Devils ...

No clear best one. Lots of really good ones tho. Adelheid (Vláčil) Where Spring Comes Late (Yamada) The Adversary (Ray) A Touch of Zen (Hu) Days and Nights in the Forest (Ray) There Once Was a Singing Blackbird (Iosseliani) King Lear (Kozintsev) The Price of a Town (Georgievski) The Land (Chahine) T...

Yeah but the official IMDb date on the main page is what we go by. Unfortunately, often.

The 1970 Reconstruction is the Angelopoulos one. It'd be difficult for me to cut the following down to 20, but these're the contenders: Days and Nights in the Forest (Ray) The Adversary (Ray) The Price of a Town (Georgievski) Adelheid (Vláčil) Where Spring Comes Late (Yamada) There Once Was a Singin...

A Man Escaped (Bresson) The Searchers (Ford) The Girl in Black (Kakogiannis) Qivitoq (Balling) Early Spring (Ozu) Night River (Yoshimura) Deadlier Than the Male (Duvivier) The Railroad Man (Germi) Street of Shame (Mizoguchi) Flowing (Naruse) Merry-Go-Round (Fábri) The Killing (Kubrick) Suzaki Paradi...

Chekhov's letters and a re-read of Kawabata's Sound of the Mountain.

Night River 1956 夜の河 Directed by Kōzaburō Yoshimura - This one storms into my list. https://i.imgur.com/ZTQ9yjB.png Great movie that I too highly recommend. Yoshimura's other 1956, Wedding Day, I didn't like quite so much - could be I'm just dazzled by the color photography of Night River - though ...

A year of masterpieces, especially from the Japanese. The final Mizoguchi? one of the most underrated Ozus? two top-tier Naruses - and a pretty good one for icing on the cake? As well as Yoshimura's gorgeous Night River, Toyoda's terrific Tanizaki adaptation, etc, etc. At present my top 20 would pro...

Really liked his TWO WIVES. The only new watch made the list: Mouchette Samurai Rebellion The Red and the White The Plea Marketa Lazarova The Firemen's Ball Oedipus Rex The White, White Storks Commissar Love Affair or the Case In the Town of S. Flame in the Valley Martyrs of Love I Even Met Happy Gy...

Maybe I should see it again, but I'll take Hulot's Holiday and Mon Oncle over Playtime any day. Mouchette (Bresson) Samurai Rebellion (Kobayashi) The Red and the White (Jancso) The Plea (Abuladze) Marketa Lazarova (Vlacil) The Firemen's Ball (Forman) Oedipus Rex (Pasolini) Two in the Shadow (Naruse)...

Pretty much what I typed at the start: The Oak (Pintilie) The Thief of Children aka Stolen Children (Amelio) Hill of No Return (Wang) Quince Tree Sun (Erice) Travelers (Beizai) Dream of Russia (Satō) Life and Nothing More (Kiarostami) The Need (Davoudnejad) A Heart in Winter (Sautet) The Best Intent...

Um yeah maybe. A bit busy these days. Gainfully employed in the Land of the Free (sigh) for the short term. Until I have enough in pocket to flee again.

The only 2023 movies I saw - and I saw very few - that I enjoyed were Wes Anderson's short Roald Dahl films. This is a director I'd almost given up on (and, based on its trailer, if I want to keep my rather good current opinion of him I ought to skip his 2023 feature), but the World Socialists convi...

There's a rip on Youtube without the logo (search for Bottomless Bag) and a set of subs at KG that match up with it.

Next.

The great Uzbek surrealist of Russian film does beautiful, totally bonkers remake of Japanese classic Rashomon. If there's a better film from 2017 I'll eat my hat.
