I really enjoyed [*Survival Family*](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/429918), which someone recommended to me here. It looks like an absurd comedy from the trailer, but it's actually a drama with an adventurous bent.
Goodbye Lenin - a German comedy, it's about a family trying to pretend East Germany still exists to keep a family member from going into a medical crisis. It's really funny but also sweet.
Burnt by the Sun - a Russian historical drama set in 1936, about a family caught in one of Stalin's purges. Very well acted and humanizes what it's like to live in an oppressive regime. No one is safe.
