Hello, everyone I am looking for some leftist films from non-socialist countries as part of my research on the international Communist movement, thank you for your help. Here are a few I’ve seen and I think they’re good:

O Lucky Man! 1973

Another Country 1984 (Based on real history, story of Guy Burgess one of the Cambridge Five)

Good bye, Lenin! 2003(Not exactly a leftist movie, but worth watching)

Léon Morin, prêtre 1961

I really wonder how that movie ever got made, in the 80s in the US especially.

Thank you, this is the first time I’ve heard of this movie! John Reed‘s story is very exciting and reminds me of one of our Chinese people’s friend Norman Bethune.

Land and Freedom is a British film produced in England by an English director under a then-British production company. It is a super based movie about the anti-fascist struggle by the Spanish Republican forces and it glorifies leftist unity, Communism, and United anti fascism. All of the major characters are either communists or anarchists, the main protagonist being an English Communist, and there is literally a scene where they sing L’Internationale in Spanish.
