If you don't mind subtitles, there are a lot of great films out there. For example, there was an outpouring of brilliant films from Iran for quite a while, from directors like Makhmalbaf and Kiarostami and others... The censorship made them work in allegories, some of which are quite beautiful.
That's right Juicy, this brings to mind another great existentialist movie. Pans Labyrinth, this movie is great because after a while you're not sure which aspect of the story is more true.
And also Legends of the Fall is a good movie *this one is in english though*, very much a rendition of the whole Prodigal Son theme.
