You finally saw La La Land? :bow:

Would love to hear your thoughts

by Glory Fri 24 Feb - 8:58:52

Great lists @EG and @Freeza. Thumbs up

Wish I had watched that many movies.

Anyway, which are the best foreign language movies of the 2016? Top 5 or top 10. The only foreign one I have watched is I think Train to Busan. Sad

Yea I know, I suck lately.
So, ya which all. Shed light folks!

Thanks.

Yea. It was one of the more unique films I saw from last year. It just stood out to me. It doesn't feel like a biopic at all, more like a mix of a fictional tale told in a documentary style with a period piece aura to it. The overall story isn't amazing, however I don't think that was ever the goal. Natalie Portman is fantastic, the score accentuates everything. The cinematography was also so controlled and practical.

I absolutely loved it. Me only gripe with it was there wasn't enough songs. The 5 there were were absolutely amazing though, and I haven't been able to shake them out of my head at all. Absolutely brilliant music. Even John Legend's song was too good to be in the film imo Laughing

That actually didn't fit.

Only film I've given 5/5 to the entire year of 2016 films. I so adore this movie.

But Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were amazing.

Can't wait to watch it

by Freeza Sat 25 Feb - 15:43:11

Would probably edit more La La Land songs into my top songs. Should've been like 3 La La Land nominees and 2 Moana. Sing Street songs don't come close imo.

Go soon. It's so great. Also didn't find as self-masturbatory as people said. It's also amazingly realistic and honest, and not sappily romantic.

by RealGunner Sat 25 Feb - 15:47:48

Nah not in the cinema. Mate won't go.

Will wait for the bluray
