recommend me some new movie's none mainstream

calex71

I go through phases where I just cant bear to watch something american or english movie , and am currently in that kind of mood. I used to keep up with
new releases but havent for the last 18 months or so :mad:

Tartans www used to be a good place to to start for new stuff, but that seems down and the us site is horribly out of date.

I have gone back into my own stuff and nwatched some of my favorites again stuff like tale of two sisters, the oldboy trilogy, many other korean / J horror movies. a bunch of french and german stuff and even some american stuff like primer and pi which i actually enjoyed more the second time around.

So please feel free to offer suggestions based on the above or stuff you have liked thats fairly recent.

I have trope de elite and city of men to keep me going this week in case someone suggests those

Check out a bittersweet life if you haven't already, it's a nice twisted tale of vengeance that only the Koreans seem capable of making... Not quite on the same level as Oldboy, but still well worth checking out.

Paprika is worth a look if you fancy an animated film

Not sure if you'd call it mainstream, but I really like "The Foluntain" by Darren Aranofsky. Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz star as two star-crossed lovers across different times. It's romantic without being too mushy and if you like sci-fi/existentialism, this is chock-full of them.

(I just love Rachel Weisz anyway:))

vincenzo1975

Wristcutters(US), The mist(US), Ju-On(japanese original of the grudge)9th company(russia), 15 (singapore), City of Violence(korean),requiem(germany), Mongol, I assume you've seen day watch and night watch??

La Haine
Delicatessen
Ravenous (Its American but its quite...different!)
