10 recommendations of films from various countries.
English not being my native language, I'm of course used to watching films in different languages. Watching films in their original language is essential for me to grasp the tone. Here are 10 of my favourites from various countries...
PS I tried to take only one per language, which was hard because I know (&love) a lot more films from some countries than from others.
