Amelie is by far one of my favorite foreign films, along with City of God coming up as a close second. Ex-machina is another one of my favorite films when it comes to cinematography. The location of the film is not only stunning but the science fiction and AI implementation is also very realistic, thus more enjoyable. :) The grand budapest hotel is also very visually pleasing to watch. I'm obsessed with the common color palette in that film. Plus the costume designer was incredible talented and quite worthy of their Academy Award.
I'm surprised you didnt name any animations, especially cause the title is films every visually creative needs to see. Are you a fan of the studio ghibli movies? My favorite has to be My Neighbor Totoro, even though the more common favorite is Spirited Away.
Anywho, this is a fantastic post! There are a few on this list I haven't seen and they look like something I might enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted!
