What with Euro2012, Wimbledon and very soon the big Games in London, sporting excellence is enjoying a major – and very international – moment this summer. And it’s brilliant, not just because it inspires us all to be just that bit more active, but also because it feeds into a worldwide celebration of culture, language and diversity.
Of course, cinema does this too, which is why we’ve joined up with ESL – Language Travel to offer one reader a unique set of foreign language films (with subtitles!). The 10 films on offer have been chosen by ESL’s in-country managers, who are based around the world. With inclusions such as Il Postino (Italy, 1994), As It Is In Heaven (Sweden, 2004) and Chance (Panama, 2009), many of these personal recommendations might not feature on your average ‘top 10’ list. But they do present the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons, brush up on your language skills and enjoy some really beautiful cinematography.
