How old were you when you first saw a foreign language film?

And you really could understand the German language used in the film?

Love those footwear movies!

Yes, I knew that, I am quite a fan of his. He presents You And Yours on Radio 4. I have listened to him since he presented In Touch in the 1970s. A great bloke. I gathered that you weren't talking about the dramatisations, which I didn't rate very much as I said.

Oh, Don Camillo! Charming films of a gone Italy!

They are also full of local jokes from the Padana region. Like when Onorevole Peppone, the Communist mayor, gives as a gift a box of mineral water to the Soviet comrades and solemnly declares: "It's diuretic".

I've seen on TV: "Don Camillo", "Don Camillo and Onorevole Peppone", "Don Camillo Monsignore... ma non troppo" and "Comrade Don Camillo"
I have not seen: "The return of Don Camillo" and "Don Camillo and the Young Ones".
They are not shorts, but feature films.

I was 8 or 9 when my parents took me to a cinema in Buenos Aires to see Gone With The Wind.
I'm pretty sure it was dubbed from English to Spanish.
I was pretty traumatized when I walked out. I remember that

Stardust Memories is a parody/homage of/to 8 1/2, hence the double feature

I've heard that before.

God, you really are a movie freak, aren't you?

When we were kids, the Buddhist Temple showed Japanese movies in the auditorium, and we used to sneak in by the windows. What's interesting to me is that we used to talk to our mother in Japanese, and I even attended Japanese school for three years as a young teen, but lost most of my ability to speak it when our mother passed away in the early 80's.

When my wife and I visited Japan in the early 80's, the little I could read Japanese was really helpful. Even after these many years, I can still understand the jest of the story of Japanese movies.

I can still write a little of the Chinese calligraphy, and read the two alphabets (51 in each) in the Japanese language.

A nice post CI

I saw many japanese movies in the seventies, and later. I could name some, if I saw them on a list. I mostly liked what I saw.

Thank you, Finn.

I don't know when I saw my first one. Maybe Jules Dassin' He who must die/

I don't remember liking it at all, but it was an introduction to world film.

And oof, maybe that was repetitive.

Something to do with Japan, but I can't read most of the Chinese calligraphy.
