Thursday Movie Picks: Non-English Language Movies

July 15, 2021

Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.

Today’s theme is Non-English Language movies, so here are my choices!

Let the Right One In (Sweden - 2018)

I reviewed Let the Right One In last October for Screenage Wasteland. It’s a wonderful coming-of-age story about a bullied young boy who falls in love with his neighbor, a young girl who also happens to be a vampire. The two leads are fantastic, and the ending is just… wow. No spoilers! But this movie is the perfect combination of horror and romance and one that I highly recommend!

Your Name (Japan - 2016)

I have yet to see Your Name, but I have heard wonderful things about it, and it’s been recommended to me many, many times! Two strangers, both teenagers, discover they are swapping bodies and suddenly share a magical connection. Things become more complicated when they decide to meet. This movie got some great reviews, and I can’t wait to see it.

Delicacy (France - 2011)

Can you believe it? A romance featuring Audrey Tautou that isn’t Amélie! La Délicatesse (Delicacy) is about a woman who begins to date again after being widowed. I have yet to watch this movie, but I do have it on my watchlist, so hopefully, I will watch it soon! I think Tautou is adorable, so I’ll likely watch anything she’s in if I can.
