My weekend viewing included Mifune, a Danish movie, and Stander, which takes place in late-70s South Africa. I am all foreign-languaged up!
The former, a Dogma movie (remember that thing, with the Dogma? With the "no klieg lights, etc." rules? It doesn't at all obviate a good movie resulting), was a goofy, oddball story about returning home to one's embarrassing relatives and rural 70s decor and games where one puts a pot on one's head and bellows in pretend-Japanese in reenactment of The Seven Samurai. A gentle story, except for the stalking and the peeing on expensive rugs.
Stander is a true story of a Johannesburg cop who started robbing banks just to prove he could (while all his colleagues were too busy oppressing the black people to actually police the streets), got caught, and graduated (via prison escape) to a professional, many-years bank-robbing spree with "rebel without a cause" side effect. I don't know what is funnier -- that it's a true story, or what the star (Tom Jane) looks like in plaid 70s pants.
I should note for the prurient among us that Stander's main method of de-stressing after state-sanctioned murder is to dance completely naked to Iggy Pop in the middle of the night.
Anyway, fun movie. Sort of a wild-hare-breained adventure, and then there'll be the tiniest moment when you're like, oh yeah, this is late-70s South Africa. Being a criminal is, like, a sane response to that environment.
