Bringing this thread over from ShaggyTexas.

Recently saw Newton, India's submission for the Academy Awards this year. Won the award for Best Hindi Feature Film at the National Film Awards (India's equivalent to the Oscars). The film had its North American premiere at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, and its worldwide premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival (where it won an award in the Forum section). It also won the Jury Prize for Young Cinema at the Hong Kong International Film Festival that year.

Those are my favorite Brazilian films..   I have watched them at least twice.  More to come, I have to jump in the pool.

Manto, an Indian film directed by Nandita Das, has been selected for screening at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. It is the story of Pakistani author Saadat Hasan Manto, an accomplished author living in Mumbai who leaves for Lahore in 1948 and is persecuted by the government of newly independent Pakistan because of his controversial works highlighting the violence and bloodshed of Partition.

The director released a prelude to the film last year, titled In Defence of Freedom, instead of a standard trailer.

There was more or less a City of God part 2, "City of Men"...

ABC's of Death...

 

I wanted to like this movie... But it was way too up-and-down. Several of the vignettes weren't very good, and I wish there was a supercut of just the ones that were.

Burning, a South Korean mystery drama directed by Lee Chang-Dong, is receiving extremely high praise at Cannes. Being tabbed as an early favourite for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. The movie stars Steven Yeun, the actor who played Glenn in The Walking Dead.

Not a movie, but rather a mini series.

Netflix India's Sacred Games drops in July. If it is even half as good as the book by Vikram Chandra, it's going to be flat our amazing. Cops and robbers/gangster story set in the Mumbai tourists don't get to see. The book is one of the best reads I've had the past decade.

Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawaz-ud-din Siddiqui? Fuck yes. I'm in.

Recently saw a good movie that just released in theatres, Gali Guleiyan ('In the Shadows' is the English title). Won the Grand Prize at the Mumbai International Film Festival, and the lead actor Manoj Bajpayee won Best Actor honours at the Melbourne Film Festival and the New York Indian International Film Festival.
