What's your favorite non-English speaking country when it comes to films?

As cliche as this answer is I have to go with France. The country may be beyond redemption but their film industry is still the stuff of legends.

America, although Australia is a close second.

daily reminder japanese new wave is god tier.

India

French and American cinema is literally the same after the 1960s Tbh

probably England

I'd say Soviet and Eastern Bloc.

I only really know Ozu, Kurosawa and the other wap dude. Throw some titles at me.

Pigs and Battleships is in a class of it's own. It'll trigger Sup Forums though because it's very Anti-US (post war Japan afterall),

>India

Please name a decent Indian film, I've never seen one. Bonus points for feature lengths under 2 hours.

Right now, South Korea
>Kim Ki-duk
>Lee Chang-dong
>Bong Joon-ho
>Park Chan-wook
>Jee Woon-kim
>Na Hong-jin

All responsible for some of the best movies of the 21st century.

Japan for that comfiness and unconventional humor.

>Jee Woon-kim

Good the Bad and the Weird is based as fuck

correct

South Korea and Hong Kong before Brits gave it back.

A tie between Russia/Slavic and Korean.

Japan
Mexico
France
Germany

in that order

Unquestionably Japan, but the French are most likely second.

I love Park Chan Wook and Bong Joon Ho's movies, which of the other guys have a similar style?

France and S.Korea

France is the only objectively correct answer. France and America are the two countries who have had film the longest, and therefore most of the masterpieces.

I can't even name 5 good american films

underrated kino:
>russia/soviet union
>poland
>hungary

overrated trash:
>south korea
>italy
>usa

Doesn't France have a lot of movies made by directors of other nationalities?

All of Satyajit Ray's films are pretty masterfull, not least "Pather Panchali"

For me probably Hungary (Tar and Fliegauf come to mind)
Then France and Russia.

Fucking Japan

>France and America are the two countries who have had film the longest

And yet murrica churned out so much trash it's not even funny and it wasn't until Frenchmen taught them how to make cinema correctly that murricans have started to make something of value.

>John Ford
>trash
Pleb alert REEEEEEEEE

korea is best. watched a tale of two sisters a few weeks ago, shit was cash.

leave this board

Saw Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 in theatres and it was pretty cash. Indian movies do have a strange feel but they're certainly interesting. I never see them shitting in the street though, on the other hand I never saw them use a bathroom either.

maybe check out 'the chaser', Na Hong-jin.
It's pretty fucking great. He also directed 'the wailing', which i enjoyed as well but it's a little but different.

not gonna do that friendo

Mexico makes some surprisingly good movies.

Russia would be second.

>hungary
this guy knows, also Bulgaria

Japan is shit in general but there are some amazing hidden gems

>germany
>mexico
wtf

South Korea, followed by Iran just because nobody's mentioned them yet.

Czech Republic

well the picture he posted is from Branded to Kill

Japan, of course.

Pleb, of course

South Korea is awesome, AWESOME. Japan is mostly garbage if it isn't animated. Hong Kong has some seriously good shit in the 90s and earlier, but less so now. Indonesia gets props for The Raid, but I don't know what else comes from there.

japan, south korea, russia

fuck france (for the most part)

My nigga

this is the correct answer right here
it amazes me that under dictatorships and the rule of censors people managed to make films that exceed in the terms of artistic freedom anything that was made in the american studio system
