"The notion of a "foreign cinema" is becoming more and more obscure in the context of vast cosmopolitan production. This is shown through the outlying antiquity that is the foreign language film section at the annual Academy Awards, in which countries are meant to compete for American condescension due to the imperative of rule thirteen.
Regarding the foreign language category at the Oscars, the award goes to the film's country of origin –not the director. This distinguishes the category from the rest, but also underscores a certain degree of Western hegemony informing the Hollywood juggernaut. The authority of Hollywood has greatly reinforced American reverie, as it superintends global discourse and valorizes the cinematic effort of other countries.
That being so, many foreign directors make English-language films to revoke this dynamic. The following films are all fantastic paradigms of English-Language films made by foreign-language directors."
