"Being such a turbulent year, 2020 would be forgiven for not being a year with many great films, but surprisingly enough plenty of fantastic ones were still released. Sure, loads of films were pushed back to 2021 and it was a lot harder to get a hold of films since we couldn't always go to the theaters. But when scouring through a plethora of streaming services, many gems were just waiting to be discovered.
This especially goes for world cinema. Since not every nation had the same covid restrictions, some seemed to be a big step ahead of others. For this list we are keeping it at one film per language and country though. No English language, so sadly great non-US films like Siberia, Wolfwakers and Last and First Men are excluded. Also, this list could just as well be filled with ten South Korean films like The Woman Who Ran and Beasts Clawing at Straws, but there's so much great cinema around the world that not all nations could be mentioned."
