Recommendations for foreign cinema (not available in the US) on Blu-ray?

[Mac Norton]

Hopefully, this is in the right spot...

I know there is another similar topic located in this forum, but I was looking for some suggestions on films not made in the US (the thread I mentioned has a lot of films that are made in the US or have US editions out, I am not interested in those).

For example, This Is England springs to mind. A friend suggested that to me and I thought it was excellent. But the Blu-Ray is not available in the US presently. Catch my drift?

I am up for any suggestions.

Do you have a region-free player? This is England is available in the UK, but it is locked for Region B playback.

Yes I do actually. Hence the question I posed.

I get region free discs from the UK because I don't have a region-free player. I'd recommend checking out Doctor A (pro-bassoonist) reviews on this site in addition to whatever recommendations you get here.

I have the DVD and the film is incredible. But I did not know there was a Blu version out, so thanks for that! I also recommend any Hanke film, the man is quite the genius.

Also thanks to everyone who has made (and will make) suggestions, it is greatly appreciated. I am far from a foreign film buff (I do know a lot of films, but there is always room for improvement), but I like interacting with other people so I can get a sense of what I should look at. Again I thank you.
