    Hi All,

    Does anyone know any channel on the Sky Digital network that shows good foreign language films, the kind that used to be shown on RTE 2’s Cineclub years back
    (ie set in historic times with good sex scenes).

    Thanks in advance

    Must admit, that is the funniest description of foreign films I have heard in a long time. I truly did laugh out loud.
    But for you request, film four tend to show some of the more obscure foreign films, and sky movies cinema isnt the worst.

    as the above poster said that is one of the funniest posts i have ever read because it actually seems genuine, looks like you might just want some soft porn....film four do offer a different choice late at night, as do some of the other movie channels past it on sky digital

    I’m not looking for soft porn or those low budget movies that have numerous slow motion sex scenes with tacky saxophone music in the background and no real storyline. I’m looking for those higher budget films usually set in historic times, (eg the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, World War 2) that have good historic storylines with the odd sex scene.

    I’m not trying to be funny. I’m just specifying exactly what I’m looking for.

    Why is the sex scene important?

    As the rest said, try Film4. They would be your best bet.

    I find watching foreign language films take a lot of concentration, as you have to read subtitles. The anticipation of sex/nudity scenes act an incentive to keep concentrating on the film rather than changing channel.

    (Yet again, I’m not trying to be funny and please note I don’t necessarily mean graphic sex scenes).

    Hang on a minute sir while I call Margaret....


    "Margaret....."

    "Yes....."

    "There's a gentleman here who's looking for a film in a foreign language with a small amount fo nudity during the time of the French or Russian revolutions or World War II"



    Try getting War & Peace on DVD, in the original Russian. It is ****ing superb.
