Okay, a quick pick before I head out. My foreign list has taken a hit over the last few picks, first Downfall goes, then Hot Fuzz and The Full Monty, which were both in my sights as English foreign films.
Just because I like ballet doesn't mean I'm a poof, you know.
For my next pick, team
Hot Buttery Topping is proud to select in the
Foreign category, from the United Kingdom,
Billy Elliot.
Set during the UK Coal Miner's Strike of the mid-80s, Billy Elliot tells the story of a young boy who falls in love with ballet, much to the disappointment of his coal miner father and brother.
Billy must struggle not only to become a better dancer, but to earn his family's respect and acceptance of his choice to become a dancer.
