This started out as a "foreign films" thread, so I'd just
like to throw a couple in from my perspective here in the UK.
There's a wealth of French cinema to explore - most of which
I haven't, yet, seen. However, a couple that stick in my memory
are:-
Les Roseaux Sauvage (Wild Reeds): Gentle coming of age
film. No villains, just wonderfully observed interaction
between a group of friends about to leave college in
France during the Alegerian War.
Sitcom: Outrageous black comedy (you'll need a broad mind
for it) where the opening scene of the film is actually the
end of the story, the remainder of the film working up to
that already viewed scene. Only Scary Movie made me laugh
more ;)
Sublime to rediculous? I guess.
