Sjunde Inseglet [The Seventh Seal] (1957).

Just rewatched one of the all-time greatest film ever made and one of my most favorite non-english film I've ever seen. A story about a knight playing chess with death himself while on a journey through the town in midst of Black Plague. Amazing performance by Max Von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Bibi Anderson, Maud Hansson, Inda Landgré, Gunnel Lindblom, Bertil Anderberg, Åke Fridell, etc. Fantastic play, screenplay, and direction by Ingmar Bergman. A true metaphorical classic.

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.
