A couple of my favorites from recent years are "Tell No One", a French film based on an American mystery novel; and "The Lives of Others", a German film set in East Germany during the Cold War.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231952.post-9142838050444781042018-02-03T07:30:10.353-06:002018-02-03T07:30:10.353-06:00Brian,

But I got my start at UW-Madison where culture and the arts were everywhere. Today with the advent of Netflix and Amazon Prime you can screen most films in your own home.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231952.post-68105520328732972512018-02-02T21:59:07.539-06:002018-02-02T21:59:07.539-06:00I envy you that experience!

I encountered a few foreign films at uni, but they were always in the context of a class -- I saw The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Das Leben der Andern in German history and language classes, for instance. One of my profs had an entire French History through Film class, which to me seems like a suspiciously fun way to get some summer credits.

Nevertheless I still love all kinds of film. Around the time that I graduated high school VCRs were just taking off. I remember thinking that they were wonderful and magical machines.
