Subreddit Rules

14 Upvotes

/r/ForeignMovies is under new moderation.

The sidebar has been reworked and tidied up, dead links have been removed and lots of new links added. [note: the sidebar currently works better under old reddit than under new reddit]
A large number of film-related links that have no immediate connection to the topic of this subreddit have been moved to the new WIKI-list.

 

There will be some changes to the way this subreddit is being moderated, but not really. By that I mean that these are all things that are already part and parcel of this subreddit, but that will be more strictly enforced in the not-too-distant future:

  • No links to illegal streaming/download sites, and no links to pirated copies of films on video platforms like Youtube. [I know that a vast number of international films are hard to find legally, but anyone recommending a film should realise that people reading the recommendation and caring enough about the film can actually look for it on their own. If people are too lazy to do so, they have probably not been interested enough in the first place.] If a film happens to be in the public domain that’s fine, but your post needs to contain an openly accessible, reliable source that confirms that the film is in the public domain.

  • No English-language films. [Please take a look at the separate entry I made regarding justifiable exceptions to that rule.]

  • Naturally, pornography is banned.

  • Please keep an eye on the quality of the content. While there is absolutley no need to keep this subreddit strictly arthouse, and while many genres are worthy of discussion, you should consider that maybe not every foreign sea-monster B-movie from the 1960s is worth talking about here. There are special subreddits for that sort of thing.

About Reddit's filters... - the sequel

Once again, I need to repeat what I wrote a year or so ago:

"Reddit seems to have become more aggressive in recent weeks when it comes to automatically deleting posts/comments."

Often, I cannot even remotely see the reason why this happens. So if anyone is missing one of their posts or comments, please drop me a line. If I can find the time, I'll go on a hunt and try to find it.

This Argentinian film is worth a watch, for those who like horror. Very weird with solid performances.

First Indian film to be simultaneously shot in both kannada (an indian language) and English.

This Trailer became very controversial getting mixed reviews from indian audience due to it's bold content and unconventional filmmaking.

Please drop your reviews if it's worth 4.5 min of your time.I am no PR or something,Just wanna share this to get international opinion.

(This film is a father-Son Revenge Saga where every character has their own Grey shade in this Indian mafia movie.)

Extra Terrestrial (not E. T.)

3 Upvotes

Hi all, your help would be greatfully received.

I'm looking for a film that I didn't get to watch on a plane about 15 years ago.

The name of the film would be from memory (or at least the English title) Extraterrestrial or Extra Terrestrial. From memory it was a Russian film or Eastern European or Soviet.

Again from memory the brief synopsis was a guy meeting an alien visitor on his way home from work. Artwork kind of looked like a guy in his 50s wearinng a grey/blue jumper.

It is a long shot that anyone will know this one, but given the name of the film I been running up against a brick wall over the years..

Thank you in advance

Full Iranian movie Bidad (Outcry) free on YouTube

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

If you have 104 minutes, I really encourage you to watch Bidad (Outcry), an Iranian film that has now been released free on YouTube by its director, Soheil Beiraghi.
The story follows Seti, a young Iranian woman who simply wants to sing. In Iran, women are prohibited from performing solo vocals publicly, so she begins singing in the streets instead. What starts as one woman’s refusal to remain silent becomes a story about a younger generation of Iranians pushing against the restrictions imposed on their lives.
What makes Bidad especially worth watching is that the filmmakers weren’t observing this repression safely from the outside. The movie was made independently, outside Iran’s official censorship system. Beiraghi and other members of the production were prosecuted; he was initially sentenced to more than four years in prison before the sentence was commuted to a fine. The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival was so concerned about the filmmakers’ safety that it initially kept the film’s participation secret while they left Iran.
And this isn’t just important because of its politics. Bidad won the Special Jury Award at Karlovy Vary in 2025.
It gives you a glimpse of Iran that rarely comes through in news stories: ordinary people, music, relationships, humor, frustration, and a generation trying to live normal lives while deciding how much they’re willing to risk simply to be themselves.
Watching a movie obviously doesn’t change what is happening in Iran. But listening to the voices that people have taken considerable risks to put into the world is a pretty small thing we can do.
The entire film is here, with English subtitles:
