This week we forgo the flashy thrills of Hollywood to take you around the world in 80 minutes (actually closer to 90) as we look at some gems of International film.
And there really is something for all tastes on our menu this week. Fancy a pitch black comedy about a couple that may just have irreconcilable differences, all the way from the fjords of Norway, well then may we recommend I ONDE DAGER (THE TRIP) from 2021.
If something a little grittier is more to your tastes, you'll find 2002 was a very good year CIDADE DE DEUS (CITY OF GOD) from Brazil, a brutal look at what it takes to survive in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
And for the stylish and impeccably dressed romantics out there, might we draw your attention to 花樣年華 (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) from 2000. A tale of stolen glances, desire and unfulfilled promise all the way from Hong Kong.
Plus, we talk about one of the best love letters to cinema ever committed to celluloid, 1988's CINEMA PARADISO.
