Looper's Underrated Foreign Language Movies You Need to Watch

"People often shy away from watching movies with subtitles — but it seems that tide might be slowly turning. With a Best Picture win for the South Korean film 'Parasite' at the 92nd Academy Awards, there is a growing interest in foreign cinema. From Japan to India, from Italy to Mexico, directors and screenwriters all over the world are producing incredible films, and although the language might be foreign, the characters and their experiences are absolutely universal. Yes, reading subtitles means that you'll have to pay close attention as you watch (no checking your phone during the movie!), but if you write off foreign films, you'll be missing out on plenty of amazing stories. And if you watch enough movies in a particular language, you might even start picking up a few words! Ready to start exploring a whole new side of cinema? Here are a few foreign-language films that have flown under the radar in the United States and deserve your attention." - looper.com
