For some reason, movies in Catalan these days always deal with marginalized characters, preteens and the like. Few dare to bring the Catalan classics or legendary characters into the big screen.

I can only think of three now.

Bruc, by Daniel Benmayor. Based on the legend of the Catalan drummer boy who scared away Napoleon's troops by playing his drum in the sacred Catalan mountains of Montserrat.

Trailer of the film. The French characters (like a great Vincent Perez) speak in French. Catalan/French Astrid Bergès spoke in the two.

Serrallonga, by Esteve Rovira. Based on the life of a legendary Catalan bandit.

Terra Baixa, by Isidre Ortiz. Probably he best adaptation on screen of one the best Catalan plays ever, Guimerà's Terra Baixa, known in English as Martha of the Lowlands.

As for other genres, Eva, by Kike Maíllo, is an entertaining flick. As far as I know, the only sci-fi movie in Catalan.

Unfortunately, the versions of them with subtitles in English are usually the ones dubbed into Spanish. So foreigners never get to listen to the real original version.

Some good mexican films.

Amores Perros.

Iñárritu is by far my favourite 21st-century Mexican director. I've liked his four movies, and I can't say that of all directors.

Like French movies were dealing with our legendary characters nowadays. Be happy to have films in your language.

Wait wut, Eva was filmed in Catalan ? I thought the girl was played by a Mexican actress.

For Portuguese, I'd have recommended that :

She's born in Catalonia. Her surname is Spanish, though, and I don't know about her background. It could well be Mexican, her eyes point that way in fact.

As for the film, I guess it was filmed in bilingual shots, as it happens with many films shot here, because actors like Marta Etura are not Catalan and don't speak the language. Foreign actors are later dubbed into Catalan. And Catalan actors often dub themselves later too for the Spanish version. This way the film has both versions almost by the same time. The original version is said to be in Catalan by the Catalan Films site.

http://interartive.org/wp-content/uploads/ciddeus10241.jpg

I was in the nightclub in that movie,towards end where the guy gets shot. I also stayed in Vidigal favela for part time I was in Rio de Janeiro. The favela was pretty peaceful, but the nightclub was grimey. In end fight broke out between me and some person, but because nightclub was packed, it erupted into the entire nightclub fighting. The police broke it up, and I was not detained lucky though I was warned to behave myself in Brazil. Anyways the nightclub is not in a favela but some industrial neighborhood bordering one.

Films filed in Serbia/Yugo:

Savior
Pretty Village, Pretty Flame
What's that new movie with Jolie? I think Blood and Honey.
