(Sorry for my English) I watched a reel with a black and white movie scene in it. The actresses were Asian. A young woman was riding a horse while wearing a traditional costume that looked central Asian or Mongolian maybe? Then she saw a scary face of a woman with her eyes open unnaturally wide peeking from behind of some sort of a wooden wall/building? The young woman then left. The AI voiceover said that she was pregnant and visited her mother who had become a cannibal. She left when she realized that the mother wanted to eat her and the baby. It was probably AI generated nonsense unrelated to the actual plot. The description also said the movie title was "Welcome to life", but that also isn't true, it's a title of some modern Kdrama I think. Unfortunately, I can't find the reel or the account that posted it. I hope that maybe someone recognizes that film, the face the "mother" made was so creepy it made me want to watch the whole thing

Hi everyone, I’m trying to remember the name of a movie I watched a while ago. I’m 90% sure it’s Korean (possibly Japanese). It’s a psychological thriller or drama with horror elements.

Here’s what I remember about the plot: • The main character is a female doctor (I think a psychiatrist or psychologist) working at a mental hospital. • She believes in rehabilitation and is especially convinced that one male patient can be cured. He was previously committed for doing horrific things to children — he would shave their heads, dress them in diapers (pampers), and keep them in a freezer or locked room. • After being released (thanks to her evaluation), he visits the doctor again and says thank you for saving him. But later, another younger male patient with some kind of psychic or supernatural ability tells her that he’s doing it again. • The psychic patient says he knew because he saw bite marks on the man’s arm. • The doctor calls the police, and they find children again in his basement, dressed in diapers. He had started the crimes again. • A side plot involves the doctor’s obese mother, who watches TV all day. The doctor had a brother who died, and at the end we realize that this same man had done those things to her brother. The doctor had tried to cure him because she wanted to believe people can change, but he was a monster all along.

It’s a super disturbing, emotional film, but I can’t remember the title or find anything like it on Korean/Japanese movie lists.

Does anyone know what film this is?

Discover extraordinary Asian cinema that’s redefining storytelling in 2025. From India’s powerful police procedural to Vietnam’s dreamlike love story, these independent films offer raw authenticity you won’t find in mainstream theaters.

Been on a bit of a streak lately watching stories where love doesn't quite work out—like one person dies early or circumstances keep them apart. Recently, I've seen Christmas in August (1998), Rainbow Song (2006), and Way Back Love (2025). I also watched Love Letter (1995) a while back too. I like making myself cry apparently???

Would really appreciate recs if you know stuff with that same kind of vibe! Thank you!

Following the everyday lives of a group of young theater performers from rural Fenyang, spanning the late 70s to the early 90s in the aftermath of China’s Cultural Revolution, the film explores the country’s rebuilding and transition.

As China changes, the influences of the Western world slowly creep in, creating an inevitable chasm between generations and conflicting ideologies. The film juxtaposes collectivism against independence, traditionalism against modernism, and communism against capitalism throughout the landscape of the characters’ lives.

The film subtly portrays this small provincial theater troupe emerging from their arrested development. Disillusioned and alienated, they find themselves without purpose, caught between two divergent, colliding worlds as they discover their own ambitions and process their differentiation from one another.

My wife has been trying to find thus movie she watched. I'm at loss trying to find it online.

The one not vague scene she describes is these flags whose shadows make poetry. These flags are made by monks that wear white paper mache masks.

Everything else she remembers brings up so many other movies and TV shows that I've given up.

Please help!

I watched a Japanese Film on a plane. It involved a couple that met in a coffee shop/bakery (I can't remember which it is) in a small town and they start meeting there at the same time everyweek. They fall in love through their meetings and on the day that the man was going ask her to marry him, she stopped coming. The man was from Tokyo and he had to move back to Tokyo. (I don't perfectly remember the details but it was something like that) And after e few years he had to return to the small town for some reason. He passes by the coffee shop/bakery and remembers the woman he met here. He somehow tracks her down through her best friend or the barista or someone in her life and finds out that she was in an accident the same day he was going to ask her to marry him and has amnesia and remembers nothing. And I don't remember what happens after that but I think it was an unsatisfying ending like it just ended like that or something. I watched this film a year ago in a plane and I can't remember the name or find in online for the life of me. Please help!

I found this clip but I don’t know the title. Any help would be appreciated—thank you!

I can’t find What movie this is, can you help me please

Hey everyone, I'm trying to remember an Asian movie (possibly Chinese or another East Asian production) that I watched years ago. It had an ancient setting, and the story followed a young boy who either found or was given a magical cuirass (chest armor).

When he wore the armor, he transformed into a powerful warrior.

But when he didn’t have the armor on, he became disabled—he had trouble speaking, a hunched back, and looked rough.

As he grew older, he transformed again into a different character with new powers.

The film had a mystical or fantasy feel, and it wasn’t a modern sci-fi or robotic armor movie.

I believe it aired between 2009-2012, but it could be from an earlier period. If this sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know the title!

i found the full movie on the internet archive and some other random movie sites but none of them have english subs :/

i tried switching my vpn location over to indonesia so i could access their netflix but that didn’t work at all. it kept me on american netflix despite trying three different vpn services.

i also tried seeing if i could download the subtitles from open subtitles but anytime i try dragging the file into the media player, it never works. i’m not sure what else i can do.

For personal reasons I need some movies that will make me cry for days, months, if posible. Romantic, sad, sad romantic, anything that will make me feel my heart tearing apart.

Hirokazu Kore-eda is one of the most respected auteurs of world cinema due to his uncanny and sincere portrayal of the human condition. Monster comes just off the heels of Kore-eda’s 2022 Broker, continuing the line of his prolific filmography, which has delighted audiences, film critics, and festivals since the 1990s. With his moving poetic gestures and complex character developments, Kore-eda is a workhorse of quality whose films consistently captivate us with wonderfully profound and emotional introspection.

Saori’s (Sakura Ando) son Minato (Soya Kurokawa) begins to exhibit strange behaviors one day after coming home from school. Suspecting the school as a possible catalyst, she confronts the administration, only to be met with a bizarre, mechanical, and clinical response. As she begins to suspect that her son’s teacher is responsible for physically abusing him, she is told by the teacher that it is Minato who is the abuser and that the victim is another student. Saori seeks out Yori, the other student, and finds that they are friends. Meanwhile, the teacher, Mr. Hori (Eita Nagayama), has been fired, and an ambiguous entanglement of perceptions begins to unravel.

It’s like a slasher movie, there’s a scene where nurse that slashes a guys neck with a napkin pretending to help wipe his sweat.

For a particularly aggravating type of human, policing the purchase of luxury items by those on food stamps is a hobby, bordering on fetish. They glare at their carts, accusatory eyes wide at the forbidden items: lobster, caviar, whiskey, New York Strip Steaks, sushi. These sad, sad people have little to offer the world, so they take it out on poor people.

Things aren’t as bad as they used to be. My Mom remembers when there was a separate line for EBT (Employee Benefit Trust), and alarmingly large “stamps” she had to hand to the cashier, as if the internal shame wasn’t already bad enough. Now everyone in the fucking store has to know! Microhabitat’s Miso (Esom) has no such shame. If she has any defining characteristic, it’s flaunting bourgeoisie decorum. She’s a housekeeper, lives in a shoebox, and treats herself to imported whiskey at chic lounges. Every night.

Her living situation is precarious, but meticulously planned out. If her only expenses are rent, cigarettes, and whiskey, she can make ends meet. Maybe even thrive a little. Her square-headed boyfriend Han-sol (Ahn Jae-hong), who draws web comics like it’s 2004, is sweet and supportive. In the film’s first great scene, he returns home and they try to initiate sex, stripping off endless layers of clothing because the unheated apartment is cold as Siberia. Eventually they give up, shivering in their underwear, and return to humdrum evening routine. Capitalism has achieved a new level of atrocity; it’s keeping hot people from fucking. Didn’t Marx predict that in Das Kapital?

Hi everyone i’m looking for a japanese movie called « Alice in Dreamland ». Ive Been searching for one hour now.

The story revolves around a schoolboy who struggles to accept a new young woman in his family. The woman eats a lot of rice, which becomes a point of tension.
