CoraSmith Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Stijn Coninx (not Stijm!) is probably the most important Belgian film director apart from the brothers Dardenne. He broke through with some popular comedies, but in 1992 he directed a serious historical drama: Daens. It's loosely based on the book Pieter Daens by Louis Paul Boon, although Jan Decleir plays Pieter's brother Adolf. It's the true story of a priest who became an activist for laborer's rights. This led to a conflict with the leaders of the conservative Catholic party, of which he was a member. True events are combined with fictional storylines. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Zhang Yimou's The Story of Qiu Ju (1992) starring Gong Li is the type of small comedy which pokes fun at bureaucracy that showed up in Cuba twenty years before. Li plays a pregnant peasant who's husband is kicked in the groin by the village leader and cannot go to work as a result. Li goes up the beaurocratic chain seeking justice. Recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Fernando Trueba's Belle Epoque (1992) is a pleasant enough comedy about a young man who deserts the military on the eve of the Spanish Civil War and ends up in an estate with four eligible sisters. A young Penelope Cruz features. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SansFin Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 A movie which won no awards and is rarely on any lists of recommended movies to watch is: Sny (1993). I like it very much because of the depictions of how different people cope with the concept of time travel in dreams. The overarching message of enormity of the fall from the elegance of the past to the crudity of the present is heavy-handed but it does fit the time of the movie when it was often necessary to actually hit people over the head in order to make them aware of important concepts. This was Amaliya Mordvinova's first movie and so her style has not yet gelled but she is quite fun to watch in maintaining one character in two different roles in life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your favourite foreign language film of 1993? It is difficult for me to parse which movies I like are from 1993 as we lost our database of movies in the transition to Windows10 and have not yet built a new one. I suppose my favorite of the year is: Island of the Dead (1993) as it is a wonderful tribute to: Vera Kholodnaya who was the greatest actress of all time. I like very much also: Killing Zoe (1993) because it is one of the most honest movies which I have ever watched. It neither glorifies nor demonizes criminals or criminal acts. It shows that criminals are like all other people with personal baggage which they bring to their activities. The criminal activity merely increases the amount of adrenaline and therefore the intensity. I looked at a list of 1993 movies on IMDB.com and I recognized these titles as one which I have watched and liked: Stolen Spring (1993) The Vampire Wedding (1993) Living with an Idiot (1993) Window to Paris (1993) The Heart of the Mother (1993) Predskazaniye (1993) Head Above Water (1993) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
