The original won an Oscar and has a 91% rating over on RT. The remake has a rating of 38%. It's pretty terrible. Don't waste your time.

Ja I've been planning on watching it ever since it won, figured the remake sucked. The Funny Games remake is great though.

It's easily in my top 5 foreign language films. Brilliantly made and very, very moving. It takes some serious investment though because it's a pretty dense story that's non linear and bounces back and forth over a period of 25 years of the main character's lives.

Spoiler for Tracking Shot:
To this day I still don't know how they pulled off this 5 minute continuous tracking shot.

What're the other four? I'll see about watching it soon. In the meantime here's my top five foreign films

Stalker
Bullhead
The Ascent
Hour of the Wolf
Oldboy

But there are so so so so so so so so many

Bullhead, Mother, and I Saw the Devil are in the mix too.
