How the heck? ... 4 different types of swords! And from different countries! BAD MOVIE!
 
If ever anyone wants to see a film about Fencing, check out a Spanish film called "The Fencing Master" based on a Spanish novel "el Maestro de Esgrima" ... and its look at the whole thing is an incredible lesson ... and the bad person ... is a ..................... (intentionally left blank!) ... and the movie is far out! Makes Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone look like movies only!

It's in Spanish, but right now it appears to be hard to find ... specially as Spain uses the different standard for CD's ... I'll buy it in Spanish, I don't care ... it's that good of a film.
 
Part of the story involves "different styles" of fencing (Spanish, Italian and Portuguese) and some details that are insane ... you never thought there was more to it, did you? if worse comes to worse, pick up the novel ... it's very good.
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104788/?ref_=ttawd_awd_tt
 
The main advantage of Foreign Film Festivals, is the stuff that no one knows or will EVER see. And there are some unreal bits and pieces in there, that few get to see, because everyone (here in Portland) goes for the English and American films, and the French films ... the rest get dumped and ignored.
 
Subtitles are not hard ... once you get used to it ... by the 5th or 6th film you learn to listen to the tone of the voice, and you can almost adjust what is being said, specially with really good actors. But Hollywood, obviously does not think that Europe has good actors ... not enough action!
 
I say the same thing about music! But folks are so tuned to the "same thing" (as I call it) that it is hard to say anything without anyone getting upset ... all I have to show you is where the lines are at the Portland FF! Or how many people went to see a foreign artist here at the Schnitzler Hall ... hint ... less than a third of the place! Come to think of it, it's about the same percentage here!

Thanks Pedro.....I'll try to add that to my ever-so-growing watch list. I actually do like foreign films as they have more 'substance' than the graphic drenched modern movies in the US......it's just that I'm usually tired at night after a long day at work and reading these subtitles tend to lull me into sleep. :))

I can highly recommend the Swedish 'Millenium' trilogy ' 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' and 'The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest'. They're all really well dubbed if you prefer that to subtitles.
 
These originals with Noomi Rapace are superb. David Fincher did a good job with the remake (Daniel Craig etc), but it didn't hit the mark for me.

... 

Me check them out!
 
There are some foreign films, where subtitles are ... almost un-necessary. Akira Kurosawa was highly aware of the situation with his films ... so if you ever see "The Seven Samurai", you won't miss a whole lot, by not reading the subtitles! The quiet and silence is built into the film, and is one of its greatest achievements!
 
Few others were as aware of this, and if you watch Ingmar Bergman, you will lose the interest in the first 15 minutes ... it is almost all about the acting and the talking. But the "visual" directors, understand this, and it is worth checking.
 
A good start is "Visions of Light", the film about cinematographers, and some of the films they did, and in there you learn more about film, than you ever imagined! It's an amazing documentary, that kinda leads you to check out some directors and how they did things, or still do.

Seen it 3 times I think, wonderful film.  If you don't mind a very, very disturbing film, have a go at 'Oldboy' from South Korea. It was remade (of course) but the original is the best.

Disturbing? ... try Gaspar Noe one of these days ... !!!! Totally off the wall acid and psychedelic trips and then some! "Enter the Void" makes 2001 look like a kid's film. Disturbing is not even close to the word in "irreversible", and then ... bizarrely and sick (the whole film is inside the guy's mind!!!! beware!!!) with I stand alone (Je suis seul). All of these are very difficult to work with and in the Film Festival, half the people walked out of "I Stand Alone" ... that's how much entertainment the audience is into, I guess!
 
I'm a son of WW2 folks that were involved in the war ... trust me ... the stories I have heard and know, I won't even discuss them ... because disturbing is not even the right word. The only set of words that "knows", is actually a movie line by Bela Lugosi ... "far worse things are awaiting man, than death ... " is all that I can tell you ... and we see and hear them on the news every day!
