Another vote for 'Blue is the Warmest Colour'. An exhausting watch but well worth a watch IMO.

Some fabulous suggestions on this thread..!!

TLDR has anyone mentioned Riders of Justice on All4?

Mads Mikkelsen is excellent as usual

Previous (2022) Oscar winner "Drive My Car" (Japanese) was on Film4 recently. I've tried it in instalments, but finding it quite difficult to bother watching to the end! Lovely Saab 900 Turbo, but not much else going on 🙂

Ong Bak 2. 1&3 are ok too.

Watch with subs, not dubbed as it ruins the vibe!

The Story of the Weeping Camel

Excellent film.

Also remembered these.

Salmer fra køkkenet (Kitchen Stories) - Norwegian

Rams - Icelandic

Also whilst considering Iceland, not a film but a series, is Næturvaktin (Night Shift), a bizarre comedy set in a petrol station.
