Foreign Film Weekend

This weekend I spent some time watching a few movies that have been in my Netflix cue for some time. I have never been one too keen on foreign films. However, I spent Saturday evening reading English subtitles. I loved it.

I focused on gay foreign films, not really knowing what I would find. I knew I was not looking for porn. I wanted drama, something intellectual, etc. What I ended up with were several movies that really made you think, made you wonder what if, and just about tore my heart out.

Here is what I watched so far this weekend...

Time to Leave (France)

David's Birthday (Spain)

Plan B (Argentina)

Saturn in Opposition (Italy)

I enjoyed my gay foreign film weekend. I am now dying to see more subtitles...

  1. Have you seen Transamerica? That's an interesting one I saw last weekend... it is an unexpected story and Dolly's song Travelin' Through is the theme song for the movie http://youtu.be/mx_I-byng78

  2. Mikey - I have seen Transamerica. I caught it one day on cable. It was pretty good. Felicity Huffman did an amazing job!
