A cute movie I saw years ago about a pair of old ladies - one of them was the carer for her sister with (learning difficulties- I think it was described as) anyway it was so lovely and uplifting, It’s Belgian and called Pauline et Paulette … I love world cinema and absolutely recommend watching it
I love world cinema
Same here too.
I have enjoyed many World cinema movies available on DVD (I look for used ones in charity shops and on eBay) - particularly, within the back catalogue of "Artificial Eye" (Artificial Eye, established in 1976 and now under Curzon (since 2006) in case you wondered why you had not seen so many "Artificial Eye" offerings for a while). In April 2024 the Curzon CEO announced:
"Curzon CEO Edward Fletcher said;
"With Curzon celebrating its 90th year, it feels fitting to see the return of Artificial Eye, a much-loved label with a rich history and global reputation amongst cinephiles. At Curzon, we have witnessed exciting growth in young audiences seeking out classic and repertory cinema, and Artificial Eye has a deeply felt heritage value within that story. It feels like the perfect moment to bring the beloved label back."
Therefore, the happy hunt resumes - it should be possible to access new titles too (now under the Curzon brand).

A film I am looking forward to viewing next weekend is: "My Favourite Cake", co-written and directed by filmmakers Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha.
As one reviewer so beautifully put it: "A bitter sweet delight, like an Iranian baklava. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2025. I watched this twice at the cinema, so I had to have a copy. The script is magnificent. The acting - exceptional. A wonderful hymn to humanity, down to earth yet deeply observed and presented with such sensitivity and joie de vivre, sweetly funny and bitterly sad, like honey with cardamom. I had to have a second slice and yet another…".
This movie has been nominated for / collected some impressive industry awards e.g.: it won the FIPRESCI Prize and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival. The film was also nominated for the Golden Bear for Best Film at the festival.
Some cinemas have held popular screenings and it is available on DVD both new and used e.g.:
