Jerusalem (1996). Director: Bille August
In the late 19th century, a small Swedish village is sharply divided by the arrival of a radical and charismatic preacher who seeks followers to join him on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to await Christ's return. Based on a true story, director Bille August's ("Pelle the Conquerer") adaptation of Selma Lagerlof's novel stars Maria Bonnevie, Olympia Dukakis, Ulf Friberg and Max von Sydow.

The Tin Drum (1979). Director: Volker Schlöndorff
Fantastic and moving tale about the rise and fall of Nazi Germany as seen through the eyes of a "man-boy" (David Bennett) who "refuses to grow" in order to ignore the horrors around him, venting his anger through a toy drum. Director Volker Schlöndorff's drama won the Best Foreign Film Academy Award. 142 min. In German with English subtitles.
Academy Award® Winner: Best Foreign Film
