Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
The best of Japanese cinema

The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The best of Indian cinema
