If you don't love it, you haven't seen it

Only really known to the general public for his English language ventures Blade II and Hellboy, the fact that this is back to his routes in foreign film may have put off many English viewers. I, for instance, had to see this film on my own as my friends didn't like the idea of a subtitled movie. This film, however, doesn't need the words, although masterful the script is, the film is beautiful in every way possible. From the scenery to the creatures I couldn't fault it. This is one of the best films I have ever seen. Certainly the best foreign film. Close second and third are The motorcycle diaries and Das Boot. This is not for the faint of heart, however, and would advise caution if you are opposed to graphic violence.
