Goal
Watch movies from Benelux countries during June 2023. Discuss them.
Eligible Countries
- Belgium
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
Each of these countries has a very large number of co-productions. I would ask y'all to think carefully about whether you think that any co-productions really represent Benelux cinema.
Rules
- Each feature film (over 40 minutes) counts as one entry.
- 80 minutes of short films or miniseries/TV episodes counts as one entry.
- Films must be watched one at a time and at single speed (not sped up).
- Films must be watched in their entirety in order to be included.
- Rewatches are allowed and are good for the soul.
- Please include the year of release for each entry.
- Please indicate the film's country for each entry; otherwise your score will not be included in the leaderboard.
- Do not edit your posts to add new watches; instead, create a new post.
