Cloned From:
A copy-paste mistake: "Trying to read a book from an author in every country of the world"
I like the list, I will probably clone it.
Thanks! I tidied it up a bit...
I have made it:
One Country/One Movie
Nice, you have seen a lot! You brought a couple of more to my attention that I had.
No Portugal? ;) Try Manoel de Oliveira, maybe. He's 100 years old, still alive and shooting!
By the way, Meirelles from Brazil, but "City of God" much better than "Constant Gardener" much better than "Blindness".
(Anyway, my own ratio portuguese/foreign movies has to be less than 1/40...)
Also, are you picking first the director and then choose one of his (random?) movies, or you pick the movie which happens to be directed by someone. Just curious.
