Personal Top 100 Foreign Language Film Lists (1 Viewer)

[Seth Paxton]

Gary, I guess you had to reconstruct the thread for some reason.
Well, if Leone counts then at this point I would put GBU at the top of my list, quite sincerely. I suppose I view it as something well beyond a simple western. I am captivated by every frame of that film and dumbfounded that someone could create something so amazing and unique. As a character piece it goes way beyond anything a western every tried to do.
I've seen Ikiru, Rashomon, and High and Low since my last post here and they all go high up the list.
Let me kick around some stuff by putting it down. Looking at a basic list of contenders will help me shape it.
Good,Bad, Ugly
Zentropa
Run Lola Run
Seven Samurai
Ikiru
M
High and Low
Yi Yi
Amelie
Seventh Seal
Ghost in the Shell
CTHD
Wings of Desire
(with my limited viewing, every Kurosawa I've seen would make the list - Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Hidden Fortress, Rashomon, Ran, Dreams)
(some others I can think of)
Fistful of Dollars
Das Boot
No Man's Land
Samurai I (the other 2 are rather repetitive of the first)
In the Mood for Love (I find it a tad dull due to pacing)
Amores Perros (again, a little slow in the middle for me)
I don't think Monsoon Wedding would make my list normally, nice but not great.
But I desperately need to fill out some viewings of the classic directors. Lots of good stuff I've missed or only seen part of (like Bicycle Thief, Cleo, Alphaville, Red White Blue). Potemkin tops my list of "to see" foreign films. But first I need to finish my AFI revote viewings.
Still, I enjoy the lists because they are good starter points.

 

[Seth Paxton]

Oh, I forgot the Bresson I have seen (not Pickpocket) - A Man Escaped. Very good film. Has me jazzed to see Pickpocket.

And I would also kick out Death By Hanging. Very interesting and powerful film.

 

[Jim Rankin]

I would like to go on record I appreciate this list as well - I have just started dabbling in foreign films about 6 months ago, and I probably haven't seen 50 foreign films yet, but I am having a blast watching people's recommendations. Right now I am focusing on the "classic" foreign films - Renoir, Truffaut, Fellini, Kurosawa, Powell & Pressberger, and right now I am on a huge Ingmar Bergman kick.

One director I haven't seen anything from yet is Theodor Dreyer - could somebody recommend something from him to start with??Regards, Jim

 

[Gary Tooze]

Interesting picks Seth... and yes I reconstructed the thread after the big move months back. I would consider GBU foreign language as it states in Imdb. I am leaning toward an English Language Top 100 now... with such films as Walkabout, The Ice Storm, The Straight Story, 2001 and Vertigo... a real mix.
Hey Jim,
I am kind of a hit/miss with Carl Dreyer.
My first was The Passion of Jeanne D'arc and I watched it three times consecutively ... and then one more time with a friend later that first day I received it. Many of my ListServ rank it one of the greatest films of all time... well certainly it is easily considered the greatest DVD. The Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light soundtrack is so wonderful and fitting to the film. It is cinema history combined with French/British 1420's history all wrapped up with modern classical score... it is flawless.
I believe I saw Vampyr next. It had its own charm and errie-ness, but the print I have is pretty awful and it lacked something for me.
Next was then films of the Dreyer Criterion box-set:
Day or Wrath - powerful and subtle simultaneously. I saw some changed development here in Dreyer, quite different from styling of the first two I saw. Deliberate framing and many symbols hidden in the subtext. The messages of ideological persucution are prevalent and extremely well done. This is a film you can revisit often.
Ordet - Another film you can watch multiple times... at least once a year. Faith. Personal conviction. Death. Communication are all explored to varying degrees. perhaps the quientessential film on religious conviction. Again I saw a change in styles. Long slow horizontal pans reminding me of Resnais. This is worth the price of the box set alone.
Gertrud - tough call... it didn't hit me with much except the impression that Dreyer had again switched his technique.
My Meiter I would obviously see this last. A fine thorough documentary that you will enjoy after watching the first three in the box set.
I am far from an expert in Dryer, but I would suggest that, like myself, you would certainly enjoy seeing what you can in chronological oder Jim... enjoy !

 

[Darren H]

I'll second Gary's recommendation, Jim. You can't go wrong by watching Dreyer's films chronologically. My opinions of the films mirror Gary's pretty closely. Given your recent attraction to Bergman, I think you'll be very moved by Dreyer, whose films are likewise understated and profoundly religious (in the best, non-dogmatic sense of the word). I wish I could watch Passion and Ordet again for the first time.

I guess it's about time for me to begin assembling my list. Quite a task. I would have no problem now listing 100 favorite films, but ordering those top 20 might make my head explode.

 

[Pascal A]

I do want to preface that I'm currently in the process of writing a biography and critical essay on the life and films of Carl Theodor Dreyer, so I tend to have a more patternistic approach to analyzing his films. I suggest that you approach Dreyer's films chronologically. Some thoughts to keep in mind:
1. Dreyer may have never made the same film twice, but his films always reflect the same concerns: social rigidity; transcendence from repression; finding balance between the spiritual and the corporal.
2. Subjects explored in his films are often "reworked" approaches of previous work. So for instance, The Passion of Joan of Arc is to spiritual faith (as is Johannes' character in Ordet) as Gertrud is to emotional ideal; both reflect the tragic consequences and "unpracticality" of the heroine's intransigence and inability to compromise. Similarly, Vampyr and Day of Wrath both explore and attempt to define the real reality when one chooses to exist both in a physical and imaginary world.
Some other films not mentioned:
Master of the House - Funny, lighthearted early Dreyer silent film on a financially frustrated, tyrannical husband who is forced to manage the household after his wife is sent away to recuperate. Like all his later films, Dreyer clearly sympathizes with the long-suffering wife.
Leaves from Satan's Book - Structured in four parts and inspired by D.W. Griffith's Intolerance, shows temptation and the influence of evil from four eras: Jesus and the Last Supper, Spanish Inquisition, French Revolution, and Russo-Finnish War. The final segment is the one shown in the My Metier documentary.
One last note: The terse Dreyer statement that was read in My Metier regarding his parentage and upbringing is highly subjective and a bit of a simplification on Dreyer's part. Much of his dismissal of his adoptive parents stems more from their emotional distance towards him than conscious cruelty. It is also evident that his character association with the "long suffering wife" resulted from an unrealistic idealization of his birth mother.
And that concludes our Dreyer lesson for the day.
By the way Gary, there's no need to keep reposting your Top 100 list, just edit your earlier post and mention the changes.

 

[Jim Rankin]

Thanks Gary, Darren, and Pascal for the suggestions, I think I will give The Passion of Joan of Arc a try first. I think I could get into Dreyer, based on your suggestions. Regards, Jim

 

[Jim Rankin]

Well I have been watching quite a few films lately and feel confident enough where I could post a Top 10 list - still nowhere near ready to post a Top 100 list - here goes -
1. Wild Strawberries * Bergman
2. The Passion of Joan of Arc * Dreyer
3. Rashomon * Kurosawa
4. The Grand Illusion * Renoir
5. 8 1/2 * Fellini
6. Children of Paradise * Carne
7. Persona * Bergman
8. Umberto D * De Sica
9. High and Low * Kurosawa
10. Nights of Cabiria * Fellini
Next up are more Italian films from TCM this month, I asked for the Dreyer box set for Father's Day, we'll see if it fell on deaf ears:rolleyes. I would also like to explore some Von Trier, Godard, Bunuel, and Tarkovsky yet as well.

 

[Gary Tooze]

Pretty strong selections Jim !!

It helps that 9 of the 10 are on Criterion DVDs (and Umberto coming next year !).

Ooops I meant 8/10 ( Persona is not out yet (in R1) either...

I'm working on a Top 100 Personal English Language films list and its taking me so long...arghhh.

But you certainly have a great start Jim.. Glad to see you are enjoying them !!

Cheers,

 

[Jim Rankin]

Top 100 english speaking films?? That I could do!!
It would include lots of Hitchcock, Kubrick, Scorsese, Coppola, and David Lean films!

 

[Jim Rankin]

I want to thank the members of this thread who gave me the Dreyer recommendations. Even though I did it ass backward it was still a rewarding experience, and I am kind of glad I did it the way I did. I started with the Dreyer box set, worked my way through that (Ordet being my favorite film from the set) and then watched The Passion of Joan of Arc, silent, with the Voices of Light score, and I am halfway through the commentary right now - this film has left me in awe, and it has definitely become one of my new favorites - in fact I am going to re-work my top 10 soon.
I was wondering if someone has a link or maybe can recommend a book specifically dealing with Passion. I am very intrigued not just by the film itself but about the circumstances surrounding it! Thanks Again - Regards, Jim.

 

[Pascal A]

Jim, I haven't read any The Passion of Joan of Arc-specific books, but I have read about five or six books on or about the films of Carl Theodor Dreyer. My recommendation for the best book for anecdotal information on Dreyer's career and personal life is Jean and Dale Drum's My Only Great Passion: The Life and Films of Carl Theodor Dreyer. I read it as part of Darren's HTF Film-Related Reading Challenge last year and wrote a brief summary on my journal.
I really wouldn't recommend delving into the David Bordwell book (The Films of Carl Theodor Dreyer) without seeing more of his early silents (which were more historical dramas or social satires).
You may also be interested in Ray Carney's Speaking the Language of Desire, which addresses the common themes of Dreyer's four great films: The Passion of Joan of Arc, Day of Wrath, Ordet, and Gertrud, with some inferences from his other films. I re-read it this year as part of the Dreyer article that I was writing for Senses of Cinema. That summary appears on the 2002 Journal section.
By the way, the new issue of Senses of Cinema will be in mid-July, and my Dreyer article will be appearing in the Great Directors section of the journal.

 

[Jim Rankin]

Pascal, thanks for the help, and I regulary visit your web page - very good work, I have Senses of Cinema, Strictly Film School, and DVD Beaver as part of my rounds every day!.
I love the Top 10 lists at your site, and I have read a handful of film reviews there - my favorite being the one for The Thin Red Line probably one of my favorite films in recent memory - Bill Schaffer who wrote the review puts into words what I cannot! Anyways I will head down to Barnes and Noble and order the book written by Jean and Dale Drum - sounds like a good place to start.

 

[Pascal A]

I'd love to take the credit , but Senses of Cinema evolved out of Bill Mousoulis and Fiona Vilella's time and dedication. I just happened to have fallen in as a contributor early enough in its history to have become a semi-permanent fixture. By the way, I enjoy the site's Top Ten lists as well. I don't always agree with the selections, but it's always interesting reading and provides a pretty good insight to the personalities behind the lists.

 

[Gary Tooze]

Been a while... I have updated my list HERE... additions include: Kiarostami'sThe Wind Will Carry Us, Zhang's To Live, Kirsoatmi's Close-Up cracking the Top 10 and these others added as well:
The Story of Qui Ju
Raise the Red Lantern
Time Out
What Time is it There?
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
Code Unknown
and I have raised up on the list these: Stalker, Children of Heaven, Blue
For individual comments please go HERE
Jim, I'm still waiting for your Top 100 English language list... Mine in a constant state of flux, is HERE
Cheers,
