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.

And I'm assuming ya'll are talking about the French Martyrs and not the remake?

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

Chula Vista 03-13-2017 09:38 PM

Pan's Labyryth
The Man From Nowhere
The Seventh Seal
Let The Right One In

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

Love Seventh Seal. I kept it to one movie per director or else it would've been all Tarkovsky and Bergman films. Have you seen Hour of the Wolf? That's his most interesting imo along with Persona. Wild Strawberries is definitely worth a watch as well, I think that's his most realized film as far as personal style goes, but he has a long and amazing filmography.
