    About Dry Grasses by Nuri Ceylan. Probably the best film I’ve seen in the past 10 years, which isn’t saying that much because the past 10 years have been among the worst in the history of film, but it’s still a very good movie.

    Yeah I love foreign films and it's the only list I found that included the Turkish film About Dry Grasses (by the director of Once Upon A Time in Anatolia, another stunner from 2011).
