Feature Writer: 
Foreign films offer us a window on the world we live in and can astound with unique perspectives and dramatic narratives. Films such as Guillermo Del Toro's epic Pan's Labyrinth and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's smash hit Amelie are held in high esteem here.
From Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai to Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, the influence on Hollywood is huge. We'll be looking at foreign classics, and new films that inspire modern cinema, such as Infernal Affairs ,re-made as The Departed.
We aim to bring you informative articles on the very best in world cinema, so please drop by often and check out the latest posts. We'll also be looking at film movements such as The French New Wave, British Social Realism, and German Expressionism.
