My past year discovery was watching foreign film with subtitles. What an eye opener to see atypical stories. Here's a list what I've liked, sorted by recommendation:
Roma Corpus Christi Parasite Capernhaum Quo Vadis Aida The man who sold his skin 100 Metres Felicita Les miserables El Inconveniente La Belle Époque Our happy holiday Pain and Glory The salesman Tehran Wedding unplanner Aurora Atlantics
Corpus Christi is a good recent one I loved.
I love watching movies in local language, will have to look into these.
Others being Aurora and Parasite.
So does Google, "Corpus Christi" is too ambiguous.
"Corpus Christi polish film" is good enough. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Corpus+Christi+polish+film&t=ffab&ia=news
"Corpus Christi film" also works, results look relevant, but knowledge graph shows the old 2014 Venezuelan movie. This is where Google is way superior, it showed me average score on imdb and even local showtimes.
Today I was trying to find info about Corpus Christi - a Polish film that won some awards lately. DDG gives me information about a place in Texas, including stuff from the local newspaper and attractions. I'm searching from a Poland IP btw. Anyway, the actual film was at the very end of the first page of results for me.
It certainly feels like it priotises things weirdly.
Google Maps has a similar issue though: plenty of US placenames are just stolen from European places and oftentimes I'll be trying to get directions to a nearby town and instead it'll navigate to someplace in Alabama instead. Strangely enough, not where I want to go...
