One Country, One Movie (※in progress 66/193)
by WaaDoku | created - 11 Jul 2018 | updated - 22 Nov 2022 | PublicThis list will contain one movie for each official UN member country.
I try to select movies that are deeply entwined with each country's cultural heritage and ones that have an important meaning for their respective native peoples.
Note: This is a work in progress. I will update this list as I continue to watch movies from all around the world. This is no attempt to define cultures through movies but rather to give people a chance and references to explore world cinema.
Legend:
country no./total no. COUNTRY NAME (spoken languages in the film)
If no (*) is added then: Movie's nationality = director's nationality/cultural upbringing
Inspired by helderix's list "A movie per country" and Geography Now!.
