World film project: Mexico
Aug. 15th, 2020 03:30 pmA few people recommended Roma, which we weren't sure about as it sounds kind of depressing. We ended up working from a random list of Mexican films on Netflix, and picked Mr Pig (2016, dir Diego Luna). It's about a elderly Black US-American man who goes on a road trip through Mexico with his estranged daughter and his prize hog.
( detailed review, mentions parental death )
Next up: Japan. I would like recommendations for Japanese films, please, ideally 21st century and not too grim and violent. I am especially interested in live-action films because Japan seems to be pretty good at exporting animé to the west whereas I know nothing about their cinema.
