I’m not a fan of new year’s resolutions, but as 2008 stormed in just over two weeks ago, I felt that I had a good enough reason to make one for the first time in many a moon. I recalled just how many times (and especially in the last two years) that I had been angry at myself for not watching enough films created outside of this country. Nearly every time I watched a foreign film, (which was all too spread apart and rare) I was enchanted and floored far beyond most of the American stuff I see on a daily basis. So my new year’s resolution, which has been in effect since the turn of the year but is only now officially being announced, will be to dedicate myself to watching at least 50 foreign language films in 2008…and hopefully I will write about each one.
I feel good about this and am very optimistic that I can stay true to this promise to myself. Of course, that’s what everyone says about their resolutions in January, I’m sure. However, I do have proof that I’m off to a decent start. I have already viewed two of the foreign films, one Italian and the other Chinese, that I’ve been meaning to see for the longest time. Here they are…
