The other day I just realized I'm starting to really like Spanish movies/directors. Just in the past two years I've been floored by movies like Y Tu Mama Tambien, Talk to Her, 21 Grams (American movie with Spanish writer and director), and City of God. Is this some new movement of the Spanish cinema? Most of these movies seem to really like exuding a gritty atmosphere that really gluts my goat, so to say. I think I'm going to explore more recent Spanish films, such as Amores Perros, which I have yet to see.

'More recent' as in 'more of the recent Spanish cinema'
not 'more recently made Spanish cinema'

I think they're all Latin American, but I was referring to the Spanish language moreso than Spain.

City of God - Brazil
Y Tu Mama tambien - Mexico
Like water for Chocolate - Spain
Amores Perros - Mexico (same Director as 21 Grams)
Nine Queens - Argentinean

There are many films from Latin countries and Spain that are great... and the production is getting better...

okay... wait... what are we talking about here?

Latin American cinema or spanish language cinema?

City of God is not in Spanish, but Brazil is in Latin America.  Spanish movies (as in "from Spain") are spanish-language, but not Latin-American films.

I changed the thread title for clarity.

I think we're just talking about Spanish language films and Latino films.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.
