Has there ever been a half decent English language remake of a contemporary foreign language film?

For fans of the Alfonso Cuaron film Roma, there’s now an hour-long documentary on it now on Netflix. It will also be on the Criterion edition out this month:

Word that Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri director Martin McDonagh is putting a new film together as reported by Variety is reason enough to get excited. But when you then learn that it’ll see the filmmaker working once again with In Bruges duo Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, the excitement level cranks up that much higher. Get thrilled then, to hear that The Banshees Of Inisheer is in the works, starring the pair.

Watched Near Dark, which hasnt aged well

Only You which had a lot more urinating scenes than I expected

Saw Emma yesterday. The first two thirds was turgid, sub-Sunday night BBC period drama. Over an hour of boring, jabbering nonsense with ‘comedic moments’ that didn’t land with anyone in our screening. Then Miranda Hart would turn up and be Miranda Hart just to make it irritating for a couple of minutes. To be fair to it, it picked up in the final third when stuff actually happened and it started to feel a bit more cinematic. Oddly, Miranda Hart ending up managing the best moment of acting in the whole film. And Bill Nighy managed to restrain himself from gurning too much. Not one I’d recommend though.

Agreed about Near Dark. Used to love it but now it seems a bit, I dunno, shoddy? And like they don’t do enough with it somehow?

Watched Juliet of the Spirits
only the 2nd fellini film I’ve watched after ldv. pretty wild isn’t it, kind of loved it. Music’s great too and so many good hats. can really see how it influenced loads of directors e.g. lynch and woody allen
