A new Blogathon…in a different language…

…I was going to announce the “foreign language” blogathon but then “foreign” is all relative, isn’t it? So…I’ve had to rethink this a bit and I’ll call it “The non-English Film Blogathon” instead……yep…I’d like to hear about films in which the main spoken language is not English (and movies dubbed into a different language from the original English obviously don’t count). There are so many wonderful works out there from a multitude of countries. You could also write about an actor, actress or even director who’s main repertoire of work is not in English…if that makes sense…

Let’s read about all your wonderful entries on the 27th and 28th July 2018.

Just tell me in the comments below what topic you’d like to write about and I’ll add you to the roster. Then grab a banner from the bottom of this post (or make your own) and link back to my site on the big day(s) when you post your choice.

La liste des participants…ok fine…The Roster:

    • Ooh, thank you. Will add it in right now.
      This sounds like a good one. And one that, as a parent, will probably make it even more intense. Looking forward to watching this especially with it being a 1931 German movie – curious to see it.

    • Hi…for some reason I cannot comment on Blogspot blogs anymore (there used to be an option to select a WordPress profile to comment as but now only Google Available). So…I’d like to enter your Robots in Film Blogathon please – with “Moon”. It is a good excuse to finally watch this one.

  8. Hi! Can I submit something I’ve written already? I have been watching my way through the “1001 movies to see before you die” (although actually, since I’ve been watching every movie that has EVER been on any edition of the list, it’s now up to 1,199 movies), and there are a couple of films I’ve already reviewed that were quite fun and I want to see get more attention:

    “A Nous, La LIberte” or “Le Million””, French, 1931
    “Vampyr”, 1932, German
    “The Goddess”, 1934, Chinese

    Thanks!

  9. Awesome definitely going to jump into this one!! 😀 I’ll have to have a closer look and see what film to pick, though it’ll probably be Umberto D. If not, it’ll be Playime or Trafic as I haven’t seen a single Tati film! The shame, the shame…

  10. Fab idea, Cat. I’d like to write about Sisters Of The Gion (1936). If we can submit previously published articles I’ll add Forbidden Games (1952)too. Looking forward to this so much. There are so many gems out there from around the world.
