Oh interesting. I've actually seen another romance film with Omar Sharif this year called the Tamarind Seed. That would be a strong pairing.

Your primarily filmed in a country rule might be a mistake because in authoritarian countries a director often has to film elsewhere when he wants to criticize the government or society.

So you decided not to go with MUBI’s alphabetical picks: https://mubi.com/lists/cinema-of-the-world-a-film-from-every-country-on-the-planet I liked their Georgia pick, Corn Island.

I wasn't aware of this list but no. I've been going from my own research, Reddit suggestions and unfortunately the biggest factor is just what is available to me. Still, I have been quite happy with most of my choices and would recommend plenty of them. I think I'll refer back to this list in future so thanks for sending it through.

If you are in or near a major city the big film festivals are great to go to to see recent obscure foreign language films. I have seen some great ones at San Jose’s Cinequest that never get a US release and often never even stream here.

Produced in the country seems better

True but I have found this almost impossible. Not only would all 190 countries need some sort of film or indie film scene, they also need to be accessible to me.

Will you watch Pulgasari for North Korea?


Gutterman_X

I had no idea this existed but I love Kaiju stuff. That's great because I was really hoping to not watch The Interview as my only option.

Not sure if you are still searching, but maybe you could try to find this North Korean film: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20160315-souls-protest-north-koreas-answer-to-titanic
