Oh, I do like lots of cinema ('world' or otherwise).
Can't remember much about "Double Life.." (prob caught it on some late night screening on C4 a few years ago). Kieslowski's schtick can be a real drag at times, but I'd have to re-watch 'em before saying anymore.
Its quite difficult to compare cinemas of diff countries. I don't know how much of a Spanish cinema that ws allowed to develop in the 60s and 70s as Spain ws a lot poorer and of course Franco (I suppose that 'Franco's Spain' ws one of themes of "Bad education -- prob why it kinda worked for me).
Victor Erice is another Spanish director => "Spirit of the Beehive" is highly regarded, but I've only seen "Quince Tree Sun" at a screening earlier this year, and its as gd a film about a painting as you're likely to get (no really!)
