Leftist movies from non-socialist countries?

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
For general audiences it is a fun sci fi movie. The idea is that if a fascist country in the future existed then Starship Troopers would be the movie they’d watch.
The attractive actors shower together without being turned on because service > sex. The main character Juan Rico chooses service over Harvard (despite getting terrible grades). Rico feels virtually no sexual feelings towards his female counterpart but suddenly does when his Lieutenant tells him to.
It’s definitely unique. Most movies use satire in a way that is very on the nose, but starship troopers is saying “here is what propaganda could look like”. A world where violence is beautiful and sex and love are barely existent. The book it is based on was written by an actual fascist. Verhoeven lived through nazi occupation. When he came to America to direct movies he was shocked by the violence he saw. He made robocop to poke fun at the ultraviolence in Hollywood, but we were unable to see that because we are desensitized to the violence.
