Jerry Seinfeld’s Recent Duke Commencement Speech. There is some really powerful stuff hidden between the jokes.

If you want to skip some of the local references in the beginning, I suggest starting here, which will take you to 2:50. Also… how good does Jerry look at 70?!?

Argentina, 1985
Argentina, 1985. I absolutely loved this film, and it currently has 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. I was drawn to it for many reasons. First, it stars one of my favorite Argentine actors, Ricardo Alberto Darín, who also appeared in Wild Tales from a previous 5BF. Second, it explains the brutal story—and vindication—of Argentina’s “desaparecidos” or “the disappeared,” which I heard mentioned a lot when I lived in Buenos Aires in 2004. Here’s the official description: “Argentina, 1985 is inspired by the true story of Julio Strassera, Luis Moreno Ocampo, and their young legal team of unlikely heroes in — Tim Ferriss

Deep in the Congo forests, Tete defies death by scaling a giant tree using nothing more than a liana vine, and he must then negotiate an angry swarm of bees—all to collect honey for his family. Three children from Venezuela’s Piaroa tribe venture deep into the jungle to hunt tarantulas—to toast for lunch! In West Papua the Korowai tribe show off their engineering skills by building a high-rise home 35 meters up in the treetops. Most memorable of all, — Tim Ferriss

Wild Tales
Wild Tales by Pedro Almodóvar. This was recommended to me by a Colombian friend, as I wanted to resurrect my Spanish prior to a trip to South America. It’s gorgeously shot, impeccably directed, and it will make you laugh and cringe in equal measure. Here’s the description: “[An] award-winning anthology from Argentina composed of six short films united by a common theme of tragedy, revenge, and violence found in everyday detail. Nominated for 2015 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.” You can find the trailer here.— Tim Ferriss
