  • I have too many people into arthouse around, but especially when it comes to movies I have long been watching more European than American stuff.

    Ruben Östlund makes both movies that are fun and deep (e.g. "Triangle of Sadness", "The Square").

    I love Kusturica's movies. A touch of magical realism and humour from the Balkans. His political views are... let's just say you do not have to agree much with the views of an artist to enjoy his work ;)

    "Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World" is a great recent comedy from the Romanian Radu Jude.

    "Blue Is the Warmest Colour" is a beautiful lesbian love story.

    Petro Almodovar has made incredible melodramas.

    I can also very much recommend "Cold War" by Paweł Pawlikowski (another love story, but this time with a very sensitible perspective on Central European history in the background).

    Lukas Dhont makes very touching movies, I have rarely cried as much on a movie as on his "Close".

  • It is a weird niche, but if you like fckd up cartoons like South Park or Rick and Morty, then check out the Polish series Exorcist (on Netflix, though I am sure you can also find it elsewhere...)

  • I have a DeepL plug-in in my browser and a DeepL app. I highlight text, and press to translate. This is great if you want to learn a language (I compare my understanding of a sequence with the translation, check what the one word I didn't understand meant, etc.)

  • Exactly. + The Facebook group gets it right in their description. They view Facebook as "the prerfect weapon" to get people into a boycott, thus justifying the means of using an American product. Fair point, if you want to actually reach the people.
