I don't foresee a situation ever in my life where I would recommend Dogtooth to anyone.

Haha, it was one of those things where I couldn't look away

[theis]

I fucking hated Dogtooth. Piece of shit.

[BillyNo.9]

I fucking hated Dogtooth. Piece of shit.

But you watched it all?

[theis]

Yes. Bought it, watched it, sold it the next day.

[BillyNo.9]

Haha, fair enough dude, I did the same with that German zombie film Siege of the Dead. The blurb and the pictures on the case made it look 99% better than it actually  was.

[lukas989]

The Vanishing
Tell No One
La Haine
The Horde
Them (Ils)
Intacto
The Lives of Others
Fermats Room
Irreversible (with caution mind you)
Dobermann
L'Appartement

All good for a start.

[BillyNo.9]

L'Appartement

Long time man!

[spoiler]Is L'Appartement the one where a couple with a baby move into a shitty apartment block and theres a psycho old bitch who has a huge man slave?[/spoiler]

[lukas989]

Heh yeah...serious bout of writers block or summat nope that doesnt happen....although be interested to find out what flick that is!  blurb as robbed from IMDB:

Max is on his way to Tokyo. He lives in Paris and likes to flirt but has decided to get married. By chance, he seems to have seen Lisa, his greatest love, in a cafe. Max forgets everything, his trip to Tokyo and his fiance. Obsessed with meeting Lisa he finds out where she lives and hides in the apartment. However, a different girl, called Alice, finds Max in the flat. Alice looks quite similar to Lisa, and they have sex. To complicate matters further, Alice is also the girlfriend of Max's buddy Lucien and Lisa is followed by an older man.

Its one of those ones where theres a lot of what could of been if such and such happened, but instead this happens, twists of fate type shenanigans.

I've actually been searching for the film for the last hour, but I only remember the very basic plot and I don't even know what language it was. Sounded European is all I know

Tony Manero and ils, two of the most unsettling films I've seen in the last couple of years

the weeping meadow
noi the albino
the wind will carry us
2 days in paris (sort of half english/half french)
