Now i'm not a die-hard anime fan (although I claim to be) and therefore my top ten is based solely on what i've seen and think is worthy of the top ten. It was a hard choice but in at number 10 is Mamoru Oshii's Ghost In The Shell. This film was a sort of milestone in the anime world in the mid-nineties, with ... Read the complete review

I have decided to limit my top 10 'world' films to a list of Asian classics. Though I have many favourite films from countries all around the world, I think that Asian cinema is currently producing some of the most exciting and vital films of recent years. Although its fair to say that Asian cinema has always gathered ... Read the complete review

I may be simplyfying matters somewhat, but it seems to me that there are two distinct schools of thought when it comes to the British watching what is loosely termed 'World Cinema'. Firstly you get the eager 'culture vultures' who long to look at and examine the cinematic style of a particular director, and then you get ... Read the complete review

These are my favourite foreign language films. Subtitled versions are infinitely preferable to poorly dubbed attempts, and for people that can’t manage subtitles I recommend you learn. Good movies are a bit like good food, and who’d want to live on a strict diet of English and American cuisine? 1. Sonatine (1993) is ... Read the complete review

Assigning some sort of bizarre order to movies you love is so incredibly difficult. I mean, taste changes from day to day. Thankfully, categorizing movies into genres should make it easier. Unfortunately, I watch a lot of Japanese movies. An awful lot of Japanese movies in fact, which makes this very hard. Anyway, I have tried to put ... Read the complete review

(The world through different eyes!) Foreign films offer a unique perspective of life in the various countries and are often completely different from the mass-produced slick Hollyood films. I really got into foreign films (particularly European ones) during the time I lived in Germany. As I feel it is a genre that is often neglected ... Read the complete review

Foreign movies are often refreshingly differnent from standard Hollywood output, and I'm not just talking about ... Read the complete review
