If you have Netflix and like foreign pflix

I have a couple of recommendations for movies no one would ever find unless they are as dysfunctional as me.

The first one is apparently based on a true story


Buttoned-up army Capt. Pantaleón (Salvador del Solar) is dismayed by orders to establish a brothel near a remote jungle base. Nonetheless, the hyperefficient administrator uses his renowned organizational skills to get the facility up and running quickly. But the assignment gets more complicated when Pantaleón develops feelings for one of his "workers." Based on a novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, this political comedy is one of Peru's biggest hits.

Next up is quite possibly the wierdest movie I have ever seen.


Gentle clown Louison (Dominique Pinon) moves into a tenement with a deli on the ground floor and falls for the butcher's daughter, Julie (Marie-Laure Dougnac). But it's soon discovered that her father (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) is really butchering people (à la Sweeney Todd) and selling the meat to tenants. At a crossroads, Julie must decide whether to remain loyal to her father or expose him to save Louison from becoming the next entrée.

If you need a break from the usual Hollywood drivel, either of these will do. Oh, did I mention that the female lead in the first one is H O T !

1. You Should Try...

"Let The Right One In" and "Time Crimes". Good stuff and I think they are both available for instant watch.

2. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies

For a good comedy.
