Best Foreign Film?

With the Oscar season fast approaching, a new film entitled What Else?  has attracted a fair amount of buzz in informed circles. In this movie, Hollywood A-lister George Clooney plays the part of an impeccably groomed but casually attired man of indeterminate age named George. For reasons which are never made very clear, George is on a quest for capsules.

So far so good, but the plot thickens when he runs up against an unscrupulous taxi-driver in the shape of Pope Benedict MCMXII (Sid James John Malkovitch). It soon becomes clear that the Pope, too, has a thing about capsules and will stop at nothing in a bid to indulge his habit.

This wild and wacky comedy is exquisitely shot in full colour and on location in the capsule shops and streets of New York.
* For copyright reasons this film is not available for general release in the USA.
