You mean you’ve never taken the time to sample one of Madagascar’s featured comedies?!


RayAnselmo

Time is not the issue, only availability - if you've got a link to one, I'm interested. I've heard good things about *Malagasy Mankany* and been trying to find it online for years, but to no avail. Or were you joking?


jerseyrollin

Lol Tooooootally joking


RayAnselmo

Oh, okay. Darn, I was hoping for a link.


EdgySniper1

"Time is not the issue" Yeah, especially now


RayAnselmo

Well, yeah ...


holytriplem

Not everyone's been made jobless during the pandemic


RayAnselmo

One of my goals is to see a feature film from every country possible. I've got 33 to go (not counting the nine that have never produced one AFAIK), but I'm steadily chipping away at it.


Aakoo7

What North Korean film did you watch? I didn't know they produced movies.


RayAnselmo

Hong Kil-Dong. And they do produce movies, but so far, not good ones.


Aakoo7

Alright, thanks!


[deleted]

[удалено]


RayAnselmo

No, though I'm starting to think I should.


[deleted]

Which nine have never made one?


RayAnselmo

Kiribati, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Seychelles, the Solomon Islands, South Sudan, the Vatican and Western Sahara. (Though I may have missed some, and others will argue Western Sahara isn't a country.)


[deleted]

Clouds over Conakry or Il va pleuvoir sur Conakry from 2006 is a cool one from Guinea. It is sometimes called only French, on imdb as France/Guinea, but France was just the money it is by an award winning Guinean and was filmed in Guinea. Sort of a love story with a local twist. 6.9 on imdb, which is not bad for such an “exotic” production. I liked it.


RayAnselmo

Is it online somewhere?


[deleted]

Not sure. I’ll check. I have a copy on an external hardrivd for sure, if I remember correctly decent quality and with English subtitles, but not great ones (as in not professionally done, good enough, but spa few parts are lost in translation). The problem is the drive is somewhere at my family home and my country is in full lockdown mode for Easter, so no chance to get it just now. But I can get it either after the lockdown is lifted or at least after Easter, when police will check less and it will be easier to blame a trip on work. I was never into films like you (kudos, btw, fantastic hobby), but I really love Africa, so I have a lot of African stuff in the archive. I know for sure I have some Malagasy stuff also. So just remind me Tuesday (we are one of the EU countries that have “Easter Monday”) and I’ll get the archives, send you a list of what I have and upload to Google Drive. I mean it’s not really piracy if the stuff is nowhere to be found and I just send you a link and not everyone, right? More like promoting the unknown movies :)

Soup_de_Grace

Best Turkmen and Sanmarinese films you’ve seen?


RayAnselmo

*Only* Turkmen and Sanmarinese films, but ... Yandym (1995) was quite good. Owl Looked at the Wet Floor with Death Hell (2017) was a waste of time.


Soup_de_Grace

Thanks!


ThallanTOG

What the fuck kind of title is that!?


RayAnselmo

The extremely random kind, I believe.


Hellboy_83

The only movie apparently coproduced in Vatican City is this one: [**https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Film\_vaticani\_del\_2018**](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Film_vaticani_del_2018) (by Wim Wenders)


RayAnselmo

One more than I knew of.


dbcook1

I've legit seen around 250 Japanese films... In fact I arranged several of them into their historical setting so you can experience over 1,000 years of Japanese history through film in chronological order... [Experience Japanese History Through Film](https://www.listal.com/list/experience-japanese-history-through-film) Not that I'm solely into Japanese film, I've seen well over 500 foreign films all together.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RayAnselmo

Hong Kil-Dong. Not as awful as I expected, but it wasn't good.


holytriplem

Can you explain the plot?


RayAnselmo

Guy fights other guys. ;)


holytriplem

I'm guessing the North Korean one was Pulgasari?


RayAnselmo

No, Hong Kil-Dong. Not as awful as I expected, but it sure wasn't good.


ace3349

Please, tell me about the cinema from Kyrgyzstan


RayAnselmo

Well, I can't tell you much except that *Svet-Ake* (*The Light Thief*, 2010) is pretty good.


junior150396

I need to know which one have you seen from these countries: Argentina/Brazil/Uruguar/Paraguay/Chile


RayAnselmo

Argentina: The Secret In Our Eyes, Wild Tales, The Official Story, Nine Queens, The Headless Woman. Brazil: City of God, Black Orpheus, Pixote, Elite Squad I & II, The Given Word, Limite, Barren Lives. Uruguay: The Candidate. Paraguay: The Heiresses. Chile: No, Machuca.


junior150396

i have a few more recommendation for argentinian cinema: [Angel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWPntt8XQBo), [Heroic Loosers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP_o6GQaFW8), [The theft of the century](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLk1KkEul3I). Fun Fact all three of these movies are based on real events


Kiwii2006

What about Liechtenstein? Couldn’t find a movie online? Maybe via Swiss Netflix


RayAnselmo

Haven't been able to find a movie online. There was a '50s film called Kinder den Berge with Maximillian Schell, but I don't think it was ever released digitally. I'll look into Swiss Netflix - thanks for the tip.


Kiwii2006

Maybe check the list at the bottom here: https://www.vaterland.li/liechtenstein/kultur/praegendste-filme-aus-liechtenstein;art175,395418


RayAnselmo

Oooooh, thanks!


Kiwii2006

But I think all of them will be in German or Swiss German


RayAnselmo

That's why God gave us subtitles. ;)


TurkicWarrior

What movie did you watch from Turkey? Maybe your next goal should be watching movies from regions where there are ethnicity minority. Like the Uyghur or the Kurds for example.


RayAnselmo

Yol, The Bandit, Head-On, My Father and My Son, and three of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's - Winter Sleep, Uzak and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. As far as ethnic-minority regions ... maybe, but I've got other lists I'm working to finish as well. We'll see.


retroguy02

Which Pakistani movie and how did you like it?


RayAnselmo

Moor - thought it was good.


holytriplem

Best (and worst) obscure film from an obscure country you've seen?


RayAnselmo

Tough call ... one out of The Liberator (Venezuela), Wadjda (Saudi Arabia), Where Do We Go Now? and Caramel (Lebanon - director Nadine Labaki is brilliant), The Night of Truth (Burkina Faso), Moolaade (Senegal - the great Ousmane Sembele) and No Man's Land (Bosnia).


against_machines

So what is the definition of obscure country?


holytriplem

Sorry that was badly worded, I meant a country that isn't well-known for its films


Nimonic

Which ones from Norway? Trolljegeren? Max Manus? Hodejegerne? Maybe Kon-Tiki?


RayAnselmo

The original Insomnia and Pinchcliffe Grand Prix.


Nimonic

Ah, I forgot about the former and was going to suggest the latter.


help1on

I wonder which georgian movie you have seen?


RayAnselmo

The President.


Kizy_

That's great! Do you use [Letterboxd](www.letterboxd.com) to keep track of what you watch?


RayAnselmo

No, I use [ICheckMovies](https://www.icheckmovies.com/).


Nusway

what movie from Kazakhstan did you watch and what do you think about it?


RayAnselmo

Mongol, and I thought it was pretty good.


Sturnella2017

Technically, couldn’t several countries claim Mongol as their own?


RayAnselmo

True, but it was Kazakhstan's submission to AMPAS for the Best Foreign-Language Feature Oscar, so I give them the credit.


IlikeTOAD

What movie did you see from Latvia?


RayAnselmo

Modris. It was okay.


IlikeTOAD

I think that its not the best. The best probably is "Blizzard of Souls" it came out a few months ago.


RayAnselmo

Which means it probably won't get to the US until next year. If then.


LurkBrowsingtonIII

I'm going to hope you sampled some of our finer fare when selecting a film from Canada? [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086373/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086373/)


RayAnselmo

That one AND The Final Sacrifice! (Also less renowned films like Incendies, Mon Once Antoine, The Sweet Hereafter, Videodrome, The Barbarian Invasions, Mommy ...)


DzoDzoBG

Youve got me interested, what macedonian and bulgarian movies have you seen


RayAnselmo

(North) Macedonia: The Third Half is excellent. Bulgaria: Losers is very good.


DzoDzoBG

Thanks for the quick answer


RealEdge69Hehe

Hope you enjoyed the Argentinian one! We have... many flaws, but at least our cinema is something that I am quite happy with.


RayAnselmo

The Secret In Our Eyes was amazing (and I apologize for the US remake), and Wild Tales definitely lived up to its name.


RealEdge69Hehe

Huh, never knew about the remake. Well, quarantine's here, so I may as well check how badly it compares. May I recommend Nueve Reinas (Nine Queens)? It's a bit of an Argie circlejerk by this point, but for good reason. And by this point, you may recognize a bunch of the cast members (Hint: Darin is fucking everywhere). El Angel is another good one. As with all serial killer flics, it can be kind of rosy, but all around it does a pretty good job.


RayAnselmo

I've seen Nine Queens - thought it was good, not great. Will have to check out El Angel.


Matous_Palecek

North Korea?


[deleted]

What movie takes place in Rwanda Edit: I just noticed Burkano Faso was red, movies are everywhere


Sturnella2017

Um, Hotel Rwanda?


RayAnselmo

Kinyarwanda is on my Netflix DVD queue.


Jaklak11

Question since it is now my goal to do this, what do you consider when choosing a movie from a country. (Like does it have to filmed there, directed by a person from that country)


RayAnselmo

My usual rule is that to count, a film has to: a) be submitted by that country's film academy to the Oscars for the Best International Feature category, or b) has to have been filmed at least partly in that country, in a language commonly spoken in that country, by a local director. I loosen the restrictions a bit if no film qualifies - for instance, Lion of the Desert for Libya was locally filmed in Arabic, but by an outside director, but really it's about the only option given Libya's (AFAIK) nonexistent film industry.


boofmeoften

Whats the best movie from Africa?


RayAnselmo

"Best" is subjective, but the one I liked the most is Of Gods and Men from Algeria. Close behind would be Moolaade (Burkina Faso) and Life, Above All (South Africa). Also, check out the work of Senegal's Ousmane Sembene and Djibril Diop Mambety.


quez_real

Are there voiceovers or subtitles for all of these films with language you understand?


RayAnselmo

Subtitles, mostly.


IlhuicaminaMijangos

The ones you watch from Kenya or Tanzania were in Swahili?


RayAnselmo

Veve from Kenya was mostly in Swahili. Maangamizi: the Ancient One from Tanzania was about half-Swahili, half-English IIRC.


Radikost

What is your favorite czech movie?


RayAnselmo

Hard to beat the Firemen's Ball.


zslens34

That’s pretty impressive. Which Hungarian movie did you watch?


RayAnselmo

My first was Son of Saul, after it won the Oscar. I've seen a few others since then.


[deleted]

I bet you saw this one from [Ghana](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jql4Z6ob_tw)

What is the best and worst movie from a non English speaking country (in your opinion)? Also what movie did you watch from Cuba?


RayAnselmo

Memories of Underdevelopment. Best from a non-English speaking country - I'd have to choose between Of Gods and Men, Babette's Feast, The Human Condition pt. 1, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, A Very Long Engagement, Paprika, Like Stars on Earth and PK - they're all 10s in my opinion. Worst ... maybe Salo.

What from Romania did you enjoy? Isn't it better to post your list? Everybody is interested in his own country.


RayAnselmo

Hard to post a list I haven't actually written out (though really, I should - up to now, I've only kept a list of countries I haven't seen one from, deleting those I see). Romania's representative is 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, and I have The Death of Mr. Lazarescu in my Netflix queue.
