Ray (2021)

Four completely different but amazing short stories of Satyajit Ray adapted in a modern and different manner. Some of them were extremely good some didn't complete with the expectations. For me 2nd part starting Kay Kay Menon and 3rd part starting Manoj Bajpayee were the best though though the 1st part starring Ali Fazal was also really good, the 4th part starring Harshvardhan Kapoor didn't live up to my expectations. Overall really great but different and controversial adaptations of Ray's works but enjoyable.

The Intouchables (2011)

Just rewatched one of the best non-english film I've seen in recent time. An amazing story about a wealthy aristocrat, who after becoming quadriplegic from a paragliding accident hires a troubsome but kind young man as a caregiver. Outstanding autobiography story by Philippe Pozzo de Borgo. Fantastic performance by Fançois Cluzet and Omar Sy. Also great performance by Anne Le Ny, Audrey Fleurot, Grégoire Oesterman, Thomas Solivérès etc. A heart-touching story with heartwarming ending. One of the greatest French film of all time.

Das Leben der Anderen [The Lives of Others] (2006).

Just rewatched one of the better films of 2000s. An amazing story about In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of GDR's Stasi (secret police), conducting a surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself increasingly absorbed by their lives. A Beautiful story full of suspence and emotion. Wonderful acting performance by Ulrich Mühe, Martina Gedeck, Sebastian Koch, Ulrich Tukur, Thomas Thieme, Hans-Uwe Bauer, Volkmar Kleinert. Also great performance by Matthias Brenner, Charly Hübner, Marie Gruber etc. Fantastic story, screenplay and direction by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Very underappreciated movie one of my favorites.
