It’s no surprise that Hollywood has turned to World Cinema for inspiration in recent years with the number of remakes getting more and more popular.
Whilst it remains to be seen how many of these remakes go on to succeed or stay true to their original story counterparts, we decided it was high-time we turned the spotlight onto the next wave of foreign films to grace our screens.

Little Rose (Rózyczka)
UK Cinema Release Date: Friday 12th August 2011
Synopsis: Pressured by his superiors to disgrace public intellectual Warczewski, a professor and respected writer whom they believe to be a “camouflaged Zionist,” rough security-services colonel Rozek enlists his sexy but naive girlfriend, Kamila, to insinuate herself into the distinguished older man’s life and report on his every move. Not particularly interested in serving communism but eager to please her domineering lover, Kamila accepts the mission, reporting under the code name “Little Rose.” As quick scenes contrast Kamila’s crude pleasures with Rozek and her more refined experiences with Warczewski, it becomes clear that the more time the unschooled young woman spends with the professor, the more she comes to have true feelings for him.

Will he find the way to cope with his anxiety for the unknown future, the rapid change that he is going through and the pain of taking a step into adulthood and leaving his youth behind.

The Salt of Life (Gianni e le donne)
UK Cinema Release Date: Friday 12th August 2011
Synopsis: A gently comical tale of a middle age retiree who longs for romance. Try as he might to get noticed by women, Gianni never seems to get a second glance. His condescending wife treats him more like a punch-line than a husband, and his aristocratic mother seems all but blind to her son’s romantic plight. Reluctantly striking up a friendship with his daughter’s floundering boyfriend, dejected Gianni looks on longingly as his aging pals court gorgeous young women, and starts to question why all of the passion seems to have disappeared from his life. Later, the mild-mannered retiree decides to take a little advice from his lawyer friend Alfonso and starts to remember why chasing women is a young man’s game.
