Butterfly -- A Grimm Love

 

Disturbing, but something about the film just glued me to the set. The fact that it was based on real events may have disgusted and intrigued me even more.

i'm not an avid fan of foreign films, but my friend thought it might be nice to watch this so i went with him. i can't even remember if it was in French with English subtitles, or English with French subtitles, but it was a pretty good movie with a great twist at the end. :thumbsupsmiley:

I love most of Guillermo del Toro's works. I think he's a really exceptional designer, screenwriter and director. These are three of my favorite foreign films by him.

 

Pan's Labyrinth (El laberinto del fauno) - fantasy

Antichrist

 

Directed by: Lars Von Trier

Starring: Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg

Plot: A grieving couple retreats to their cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.

 

To say that this movie is shocking is an understatement. It's beautiful, engaging, it has character, it's very artistic, and not to mention very bold. I highly recommend this but beware of the brutality of some scenes.
