World Cinema Classics Free on Youtube, Curated by Daniel Gauss

There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever. When I was younger there was a theater called the Parkway (in Chicago) that showed such films. It was torn down (so it goes). So this blog is kind of my own personal Parkway. djg51qu@gmail.com I will post new films each Saturday.

Floating Lives (Cánh dong bat tan) - 2010 - Nguyen Phan Quang Binh

Impressive Vietnamese film about a 'timeless' Vietnam - a family out in the remote countryside living as rural Vietnamese have lived for generations, facing the same universal problems.

Not to ruin the plot, but to give you some idea of it, a father and his two children survive on the Mekong River and take in a woman who has been brutally beaten by villagers for promiscuity. As the film develops you learn the backgrounds of all the characters.
