Weird foreign language film request

[Robmarriott]

Honestly it’s going to be the weirdest thread of the day right here...

I struggle to sleep unless I’ve got some sort of background noise, over the years I’ve tried the TV and music (which I try to sing along to so that doesn’t work). I’ve discovered the best thing is non English films, I don’t strain to listen to the dialogue so they works.

Problem is, I’ve only found 2 so far, Amelie and some random film about typewriters

What I’m after is some suggestions for foreign films which aren’t riddled with gunfire and explosions, probably French or Italian, not sure German would really work.

I’d anyone could humour me that’d be great.

Have you got netflix?

Each film / TV show has a languages option, where you can change languages (if available), so you can have you favourite content play in different languages if you like.

Ever tried www.rainymood.com ?
I don't use it for sleeping (though I do love going to sleep to rain/wind outside) but have it on at work to drown out the radio.

Last Train To Busan

BTW:

Populaire is not "some random film about typewriters"

[ElectricSoup]

"Ko To Tamo Peva" (Someone's Singing Over There)

"Balkanski Spijun" (Balkan Spy)

Funny, pre-civil war Yugoslav films, no shooty shooty bang bang.

Untouchable

Wonderful film. My wife, who doesn’t do subtitles, loved it.

Some of the most tedious foreign films

The Seventh Seal
Through a Glass Darkly
The Double Life of Véronique
Hiroshima Mon Amour
Le Mépris

More or less guaranteed to provoke the zeds.
