A film with an incredible visual and thematic legacy, visible throughout modern cinema. Both precise and outlandish, it's the ultimate Bertolucci film. Multiple references to the great Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

"It felt very true, in a way that's hard to get across in animation"

We can't think of a better film for our first Irish pick, than Song of the Sea. It's Miyazaki meets Pixar with an Irish humor.

Tom Waits and the Morbegs

"You're really not human if this movie doesn't get to you"

We finally got there, to the film that's been casting a shadow over Ricardo's choices for the last 9 months; 1985's Come and See.

Gut-wrenching, and thoroughly realistic it's not a film that will ever leave your brain. Thanks Ricardo
