Over the course of our more than 15-year existence, FSR has published thousands of reviews. We have reviewed movies from film festivals like Sundance, SXSW, TIFF, and Cannes. We review new theatrical and streaming releases. We even have two recurring columns — Previously On and Up Next — in which we review new and returning TV shows. And just as a fun fact, we used to give out letter grades with our reviews.

Last week we descended into the bowels of The Machine Girl and came out sticky, tingly, and feeling just a little bit dirty… so this week I’m going to class things up a bit by covering an award-winning film that doesn’t involve Japanese schoolgirls or geysers of blood.

In honor of Indiana Jones week here at FSR, today’s installment of Foreign Objects will take a look at the best Raiders of the Lost Ark homage/rip-off ever made. Luckily (and not coincidentally) it just so happens to be a foreign film.

Everyone is going nuts for Indiana Jones and it is well on its way to earning huge bucks at the box office this weekend… except me. I wasn’t sold on this trip down memory lane, and here’s my evidence that this just wasn’t an Indiana Jones movie.

Back in the later 1950s, a prominent doctor named Dorian Paskowitz dropped out of the traditional life and took his wife on the road, living out of a trailer. Before long, they had nine kids (eight boys and one girl), and they lived a life of surfing out of that trailer, before things began to unravel.
