BBC Culture's 100 Greatest Foreign-Language Films

Three years ago, BBC Culture ran its first major critics' poll, to find the 100 greatest American films. Two further polls looked for the best films of the 21st Century and the greatest comedies ever made – and those also ended up with films from the US in the top spot.
This year, we felt it was time to direct the spotlight away from Hollywood and celebrate the best cinema from around the world. We asked critics to vote for their favourite movies made primarily in a language other than English. The result is BBC Culture's 100 greatest foreign-language films.
