Hello, everyone I am looking for some leftist films from non-socialist countries as part of my research on the international Communist movement, thank you for your help. Here are a few I’ve seen and I think they’re good：
O Lucky Man! 1973
Another Country 1984 (Based on real history, story of Guy Burgess one of the Cambridge Five)
Good bye, Lenin! 2003（Not exactly a leftist movie, but worth watching）
Léon Morin, prêtre 1961
Hunger - about Bobby Sands’ hunger strike in prison.
Snowpiercer - badass
Parasite - one of the best movies ever made
Salo or 120 days of sodom - very gruesome and hard to watch. Only see it if you think you’re up for it. It’s an anti fascist movie made by a communist.
Fiddler on the Roof - has some mentions of the 1917 revolution lol
They Live - good critique of capitalism and how it shapes our realities
Starship Troopers - fascist satire
Che - no comment needed
Children of Men - the bleak future of capitalism
Sorry to Bother You - good, weird movie with a heavy dose of unionizing
About Salo or 120 days of sodom, I’ve seen it. I was gonna include it, but it’s gross. I would be very sorry if someone actually went to see the movie through this post and was scared. Thanks for the other suggestions! By the way, Pier Paolo Pasolini‘s other movies are worth watching, too. As far as I know, he was a ML.
parasite: a movie that got the academy award it genuinely deserved
The Snowpiercer TV series is even better than the original movie!
Starship troopers is my guilty pleasure movie, i just love it so much. Pure fun
