"Before the Rain" is quite intense, and blew my mind last night.
Is "songcatcher" any good? "Manon of Spring/Jean de Flourette" are fine films IMHO. I really like the "Blue/Red/White" trilogy, especially "Blue". "Zentropa" is great, and one of my favorites is "Wings of Desire". And for a special treat, try "The Big Labouski". "Ten Thousand Clowns" is also a fine film...
