Why would it be a secret to like any film from any Country ? I mean, except for Bavaria.

Secret love is for French films.

Performance-

A most excellent choice.

May I also suggest:

The War Zone (Directed by Tim Roth)
Scum (starring Ray Winstone)
Bronson (about British notorious prisoner Michael Gordon Peterson)
Withnail and I (a bloody classic!!!)
Time Bandits (Terry Gilliam)


And many more I've forgotten at this point in time.
