Just wrapped up a bittersweet life and it was outstanding . Another korean gangster flick with an almost haunting dream like quality in it where the leads actions in life continually come back to haunt him in this depressing nihilistic fashion with some buddhist undertones

'The Captain', 2018 - German

"A German Army deserter finds a Nazi captain's abandoned uniform during the final weeks of World War II. Emboldened by the authority it suddenly grants him, he amasses a band of stragglers that cedes to his every command."

 
While I can list many, I’ll list my top 3:

The Intouchables: unbelievable rotten tomatoes rated this movie 75%. It’s honestly one of the best foreign films I’ve seen.

City of God: somewhat of a gangster story in the favelas of Brazil.

Sin Nombre: an amazing moving about ms-13. Though there’s a lot more involved in the movie, one of the main premises is about the gang life through El Salvador/Mexico
 
Lives of others and bader meinhof are great!
 
bumping old thread for this film,film is about russian chechen war vet and his pursuit of happiness (and about depression and shit)

not an action film but more like psychological thingy about life,war vets might and depressed people might relate

whole thing is on youtube and has english subs
