A World of Films You Never Knew Existed!

Do you fancy some French sophistication from your night in? You could try watching French films like Amelie, Priceless, Amour or La Vérité si je Mens! (Would I lie to you).

After seeing La Vie en Rose, the film that won French actress Marion Cotillard an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe, you might become an instant fan of Cotillard's, so why not also watch Rust and Bone which received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012? The story of a beautiful amputee played by Cotillard resonated with the spirit of the London 2012 Paralympics.

Back Catalogues and More

Have you ever wanted to see Pedro Almodovar's back catalogue? You could try something new watching all his films in reverse order starting from 2013's I Am so Excited (Los Amantes Pasajeros) and going all the way back to 1988's Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown and even Pepi, Lucy, Bom y Otras Chicas del Montón. I bet you didn't know that one!

Northern Europe has produced a large number of cult-films like Denmark's A Royal Affair or Norway's Kon-Tiki. Denmark is also famous for gripping TV series like The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge.

Borgen, in particular, is a political drama and can be considered as Denmark's Homeland. A Hijacking is Denmark's answer to Tom Hanks' Captain Phillips, so much so that some critics have defined Hijack as “the Somali pirate movie without Tom Hanks”. Hijack is directed by Tobias Lindholm who made The Hunt and Borgen. These are edge-of-your-seat type of movies that keep the right level of tension throughout.
