The 25 Best Foreign Language Films of All Time

"Admittedly writing and publishing a cinema list that, in this case, purports to be a definitive listing of "the 25 Best Foreign Language Films of All Time" is clickbait that borders on trolling. Well, that isn't that case at all, despite the fact that numerous international favorite filmmakers didn't quite make the cut (alas, Robert Bresson, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Abbas Kiarostami, and Kenji Mizoguchi are amongst the luminaries who are not represented here) and more than a couple noted classics are also absent (8 1⁄2 , Berlin Alexanderplatz, M, and The Rules of the Game are not listed below). No, the ambitious list that follows is not going to please everyone but it does contain 25 masterpieces from the those who rank amongst cinema's finest artists."
