Favorite Foreign Features

Who doesn't love a good foreign film? The long, meaningful silences, the smoke-filled interiors, the seemingly inocuous statements that provoke inexplicable rages in distraught lovers and can only be attributed to something being lost in the translation.

Even in the world of independent film, English language films dominate the festival circuit. How many independent foreign films never make it to our local theaters? And even when they do, how often do we get beyond "Gee, I'd like to see that," and then it's gone? This week's collection offers you some of our favorite foreign films that you might have missed. And using the Disc Factory software, now you can catch up on some great foreign indies and download them straight to DVD without leaving home.
