Hey Blue Cat, I know you're interested in China so another one you may want to check out is the one Ganj mentioned-Beijing Bicycle. It's a pretty accurate depiction of life in a big city in modern China. A couple of other good ones are:

To Live- a great movie about lifes up's and downs. It follows one family from the mid-'40s or so to about the mid '70s. Banned in China because it depicts the ridiculousness of the Mao years.

Qui Ju- Kind of funny movie about one woman's quest for justice after her husband is kicked in the balls. Sorry, its a bad description of a good movie.

Postmen in the Mountains-Interesting father and son story about life in modern rural China.

Oh, when watching Xiu Xiu keep in mind that the time period for this was the mid '70's. A lot is different now.

Now I gotta go and find that City of God movie that everyone is talking about.
Fengzi Reviewed by Fengzi on . Anyone like foreign movies? I just love to watch foreign movies....I wondered if anyone else here does... One of my favorite is Amelia. The colors in it are really cool if you are stoned...lol the music is pretty nice too. So I watched this one a few days ago called Carandiru. :eek: OMG it was so sad. It was about this prison in Sao Paulo... The conditions there were terrible....and they rioted so the cops came in and just started killing people it was really depressing. Anyone else seen a good foreign movie? Rating: 5
