In Honor of the Weekend - Recommended Foreign Film List

In honor of the weekend, I thought I would post a list of foreign films of the last few years recommended to me by my friend Claudia Work. Claudia is a fellow lawyer and an organizer of the Scottsdale International Film Festival, so she knows what she's talking about. The festival is October 2-6. Hope to see some of you there!
