I don't know why but I love watching foreign films and have been into them since I was in high school. Maybe it's the part of me that wants to be French, Spanish or something else? There isn't that Hollywood cookie-cutter plot with a happily-ever after ending (not that I'm hating on those because yes...I do enjoy a JLo rom-com now and then). I just find foreign story lines are more raw, the performances are strong, and the sex...do i need to get into that?!
Two weeks ago, I watch Rust and Bones starring the beautiful Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts. It's a story about a killer whale trainer (Cotillard) who meets a single father (Schoenaerts). He is a theif turned bouncer turned streetfighter. You witness their developing relationship after Cotillard experiences a horrific accident. The CGI in this film is impressive. Rust and Bones (French title: De Rouille et D'os) is now on my recommended list!
If you're interested in other foreign films or documentaries, check out my pinterest board "watched list." for others that I've enjoyed. The list of films are those that I've seen mainly in the last year and are available on Netflix.
