From the module British National Cinema: Evergreen (1934) by Victor Saville, starring the star Jessie Matthews, great if you love musical, London, theatre life and art deco.
From the module Hollywood Cinema: Casablanca (1942) by Michael Curtiz, always classy, never goes out of fashion, personally I am never tired of watching it, "Here's looking at you kid."
Disorder by Huang Weikai, of which you can read more in my previous post:
From the module Contemporary Spanish Cinema: Raise Ravens (1976) by Carlos Saura. Beautiful, I would say, fascinating, symbolic, starring two wonderful actresses such as Ana Torrent and Geraldine Chaplin.
From the Film Society weekly screening: Masculin Feminin (1966) by Jean Luc Godard. Starring the grown-up Jean Pierre Leaud, a wonderful reflection on French youth in the 60s, a reflection on genders, and just as good as only Godard could have made it.
From the module Chinese Cinemas: A City of Sadness (1989) by Hou Hsiao-hsien. Difficult to follow, I have to admit, slow and long, but once you start feeling part of the narrative it is an amazing journey in the depth of Chinese unspoken history and non-speaking people.
