7 Foreign Films From 2019 That Are Worth Watching

Movies usually are associated with whatever it is that Hollywood brings out. Even if you don’t live in America, any movie that isn’t American will still somehow be classified as any variant of a “foreign” film. Yet usually these movies have a huge well of talent that remains untapped – until Hollywood makes a bad remake of it, of course.

Here’s a few foreign films that came out last year (or are eligible to win an Oscar in 2020) that you might be interested in. And if you’re not, give them a watch anyway.

Parasite

An Asian horror that’s pretty much like every other Asian horror we’ve seen before: ridiculously scary and absolutely fantastic.

The Whistlers

This Romanian crime comedy tells the story of a police officer trying to break someone out of prison. It requires a very particular skill, however: he has to learn the local dialect, which includes hissing and spitting.

Roma

A Mexican film about a year in the life of a maid working for a normal Mexican family in the 70s. The movie has been considered one of the top choices for pretty much every movie award there is.
