I agree with everything that you said :) I love both movies you mentioned! Have you seen 'The Dinner Game' (very funny in an over the top way) or 'City of God' (very moving)? Both are really great! Also thanks so so so much for your last comment, you are the sweetest person ever!!!!Kaylia Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520507919873990733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711529139782333977.post-13972243197878733602011-08-18T08:26:28.868+10:002011-08-18T08:26:28.868+10:00Wow, yes I thought that someone would have heard o...Wow, yes I thought that someone would have heard of them before. They're some of the most well known ones, but definitely worthy of renown. Aren't they beautiful? I actually haven't seen all of Paris Je T'aime, and so I haven't seen your favourite film. Nevertheless, I completely know what you mean about words and silence and I think that you managed to explain it perfectly, even if you think it sounds crude in words. <br /><br />Sorry, I haven't seen A Very Long Engagement, but I know which movie you mean. Is that a reccommendation then? <br /><br />Here's a couple of reccommendations for you! (Foreign films)<br />1. The Hedgehog (another more famous one but underestimated in its brilliance)<br />2. As it is in Heaven (very sad, very powerful and very beautiful)<br />3. Everything is Illuminated (it's not exactly a foreign film, but it has every sparkle of beauty that a foreign film has, and a hilariously great soundtrack.)<br /><br />Thanks for your comments and reccommendation! Take care.Paige Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334957101478276651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711529139782333977.post-22256179223974011192011-08-17T14:27:02.524+10:002011-08-17T14:27:02.524+10:00Beautiful post.

Amelie and Paris, Je T'aime are two of my favourite films.<br /><br />My favourite short from the latter is the one with the nanny from a lower middle class neighbourhood who leaves her baby at a creche and then, goes on to work as a housekeeper taking care of a small child at a mansion singing the same song to soothe both children.<br /><br />That is such a moving short film. It's got no dialogue but it can be wrenching without it. In fact, it is almost crude when put down in words but lovely on the screen.<br /><br />Oh, and have you seen A Very Long Engagement? Very cute film, too.Tangled up in blue...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863311350462955038noreply@blogger.com
