Hello, everyone I am looking for some leftist films from non-socialist countries as part of my research on the international Communist movement, thank you for your help. Here are a few I've seen and I think they're good：
O Lucky Man! 1973
Another Country 1984 (Based on real history, story of Guy Burgess one of the Cambridge Five)
Good bye, Lenin! 2003（Not exactly a leftist movie, but worth watching）
Léon Morin, prêtre 1961
I was impressed by a little-known Slovak film called "Inferno" from 2014. It is a very dark movie about the grim post-socialist reality in Eastern Europe. It depicts all the problems - oligarchs, suppression, intimidation and subversion of leftists, collapse of social norms and social programs, extreme poverty etc.

One more movie is Peepli [Live] from 2010 - an Indian movie depicting extreme poverty and suffering in rural India, as well as the indifference of more wealthy Indians to it.

They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) by Sidney Pollack. Desperate people participate in a cruel elimination show for the wealthy during the Great Depression. Maybe this film began the well-known now "death games" sub-genre, not sure. It was probably a new topic when the film came about.

You probably know the recent "Parasite" (2019) movie. Not necessarily leftist, but it still depicts South Korean social tensions well

Maybe it is off-topic, but I could also suggest a South Korean TV series "Good Manager" - drama/comedy. It depicts South Korean corporate corruption quite well and other problems of chaebol system. It has a social justice spirit, but it is not very strong. After all, being an open socialist in South Korea is dangerous, as I understand. Watching it was both fun and informative, however this is not concentrated materiel of course

It is noticeable that in the capitalist world there are many anti-capitalist movies and they become more and more popular, but practically none pro-leninist movies (depicting the role of organizing, party as the vanguard of the revolution, dictatorship of the proletariat etc.) or movies depicting the people's control over economy/real people's democracy... when it comes to showing socioeconomic problems American movies become extremely primitive and absolutely never offer solutions (except the pro-systemic "the bad guy goes to jail" ending)
Thank you. Many of the movies on this list are new to me. About Eastern Europe I wanted to include A Serbian Film 2010, but it's disgusting and I don't recommend anyone watch it...
Also a bit off-topic, but still.
Dunno on the Moon - the most based post-Soviet Russian cartoon. Basically it compares socialist and capitalist societies in a slightly humorous/satirical form.
