Mamma Mia, the accents are just one of the awful things about this terrible adaptation of a modern classic.
European
Stormland
Stormland is a decent recession era tragicomedy from Iceland. Watch for lashings of bleak landscapes, one of the best characters to come out of Northern Europe and a horse called Nietzsche.
Death of a Man in the Balkans
A good idea with great characters that’s not quite got enough mileage in it to stop you from getting bored. Interestingly, it’s seems much more of a chore to watch at the beginning than at the end.
Cell 211
A gripping prison drama with a slew of twists from Spain that has it’s flaws but remains well worth a watch nonetheless.
Trollhunter
This faux-footage offering from Norway is simultaneously funny, innovative, ridiculous and sometimes a little scary. It’s an enjoyable study into the real life world of trolls – as long as you can look past the cartoony appearance of the CGI beasts.
Hello! How Are You?
A refreshingly different romantic comedy that paints love in Romanian in a new light.
