My favorite so far has been Wajda's 1977 Man of Marble. An oddly magnetic and fast-paced film that captures the spirit of unbridled, unrealistic optimism (the Soviet, communist variety) and its detriments. You will fall in love with Birkut's herculean brick-laying powers!
I also love Daisies and Pearls of the Deep (both Vera Chytolova) - solid gems of the Czech New Wave. Anyone who loves reading magical realist novels - Murakami, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kundera - would also enjoy these films.

- tropdrop 6y agoThe ones I've watched seem to be higher quality than some of the same films on YouTube - the subtitles are certainly much better quality, which is the reason I was willing to pay and download several films for which I had a harder time finding accurate (not automatically generated) subtitles.
- distances 6y agoDo you have some numbers to share in terms of file size and resolution?
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoMan of Marble has a sequel, Man of Iron, but it is rather a letdown. Dives too much into the then-current political zeitgeist and loses the timelessness the Man of Marble has.
