I think I hated Celine and Julie Go Boating worse than anything I can recall seeing. And there was so much of it! [/ QUOTE ] lol that reminds me so much of the beginning of Annie Hall |

Re: le greatest foreign language films
I forget who said it, but the line goes something like this: "Nobody ever wished Paradise Lost were any longer."
I love Celine and Julie; it's Amelie for grownups, boys. But I can see why people would hate it. |

Re: le greatest foreign language films
Have you seen Shadows of My Forgotten Ancestors? That's one I just didn't get; of course, I was a mere tyke at the time. Maybe I'd like it more now.

DB,
I sat through almost every movie on the list, including The Gospel, but I would have nominated Salo although I don't think I will ever watch it again. |

[/ QUOTE ] A lot of these seem like quick studies, like easy picks, the kind a critic would get into in a relatively short, reasonable amount of time; but, there is a smattering of the harder stuff to sit through -- films like Rublev. I think I kind of like this, but I also get the feeling that the median age of nominators must be pretty close to my own nonetheless. What an odd feeling -- it's disquieting. |

Re: le greatest foreign language films
cincy,
knowing what i do about the people on the panel, i'd say the median age is low 30's, minimum. i wouldn't be shocked if it were near 40. of the people i know, i'm one of the younger ones |

That sounds about right. I haven't seen about a third of these, but that's not saying anything much.

Re: le greatest foreign language films
there's an interesting point being brought up elsewhere.
how much of this is influenced by Criterion and the availability of films on DVD? I know I don't really have a chance to see stuff unless it's on DVD |

Re: le greatest foreign language films
this seemed very Criterion-informed to me, and not the first suggestion i've happened upon that Criterion may be defining a more tangible generation than i had thought possible. but before i become some sort of augurer...
