For French cinema the first decade of this century was awesome:
Ao: The Last Hunter (Ao, le dernier Néandertal), 2010
A prehistoric film without real dialog (though with narration) and great visuals.

The City of Lost Children, 1995.
Absolutely bizarre, surreal, hilarious and touching. Physical comedy at it's best. The horror of childhood. And not one single sex scene.
