Foreign-Language New York Film Critics Winners
The NYFC began awarding films in 1935 and the next year started a foreign film category. This award was not given out from 1941 to 1945. It then resumed consistently, except for a strike in 1962. This award was not given out from 1969 to 1977 as the group's focus turned toward foreign selections. The year 1981 was skipped too.

Ladri di Biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) (Bicycle Thieves) (1948, Unrated)
Hard times after a major war- De Sica and the neo-realists had great motivation and material. Everyone is on edge and hates to be accused of being a thief. Some have given everything they can and made sacrifices to improve their family's life. Most people probably cannot imagine what they would do if a tragedy occurred and desperation set in within this environment. The church and fortune tellers cannot really help with the practical matters of life, and police may try to help keep the peace but they can only do so much. So you can only count on yourself and still you may fail. Yes, that's lonely and isolating, but you are the one who has to search and put one foot in front of the other on the journey. Hopefully there will be someone (like Bruno) by your side when you need them. |

Jeux Interdits (Forbidden Games) (1952, Unrated)
The opening sequence is very good. A little girl from the city is thrown into tragic circumstances. She befriends a boy a few years older than she is and is temporarily adopted by his farming family. There are funny moments dealing with the family's rivalry with the neighboring family, and with relationships within the Dolle family household. It is interesting how the children try to cope with the tragedy of war, but I was not overly impressed by the five year old actress. Her acting method did not seem particularly natural. |

Jigokumon (Gate of Hell) (1953, Unrated)
Haven't seen many Asian films that aren't mainly of bunch of men sword or martial arts fighting. This movie had a little sword play, but was primarily a drama. The women were still delicate and submissive in this society, but I was pleasantly surprised that a couple of the actresses had more dialog and screen time. Though the culture is of a different place and time, there is nothing particularly foreign about the themes, relationships, or emotions portrayed here. |
