Ghosts of Cité Soleil (Asger Leth, Milos Loncarevic, 2006)
We’re all used to watching pictures of a messy war being fought on ramshackle streets, but nothing can prepare you for Ghosts of Cité Soleil.
Paradise Lost (John Stockwell, 2006)
A group of attractive backpackers become the hapless victims of a ruthless Brazilian doctor hell-bent on killing foreign tourists.
Days of Glory (Rachid Bouchareb, 2006)
When Days of Glory premiered at Cannes to ecstatic ‘Bravos’, it was a case of right film, right time.
The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, 2006)
The Lives of Others is set in communist East Germany, where the state’s spies, the Stasi, police the lives of their socialist comrades.
This Is England (Shane Meadows, 2006)
Set in mad Maggie’s free market eighties, This Is England follows 12-year-old Shaun Field, a ballsy kid plagued by schoolyard bullies and memories of a father killed in the Falklands War.
Ils (Them) (David Moreau, Xavier Palud, 2006)
No story, no character, just one vision – create the scariest film ever.
Babel (Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2006)
Alongside regular collaborator Guillermo Arriaga, Alejandro González Iñárritu is no stranger to fractured stories and broken lives.
