A triptych film directed by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard and some Portuguese dude. The Greenaway segment is a visually beautiful, but tedious journey across the history of the city of Guimaraes.

Roa (2013) *

Boring drama from Colombia. Set in 1948, the film seems vaguely inspired by "Taxi Driver", but it's tedious beyond belief.
