Best Foreign language film shortlist:
>Belgium, The Brand New Testament, dir: Jaco Van Dormael
>Colombia, Embrace Of The Serpent, dir: Ciro Guerra
>Denmark, A War, dir: Tobias Lindholm
>Finland, The Fencer, dir: Klaus Härö
>France, Mustang, dir: Deniz Gamze Ergüven
>Germany, Labyrinth Of Lies, dir: Giulio Ricciarelli
>Hungary, Son Of Saul, dir: László Nemes
>Ireland, Viva, dir: Paddy Breathnach
>Jordan, Theeb, dir: Naji Abu Nowar
No Oscar for Hou Hsaio-Hsien. I guess Viva was just a better film.
>no Tag
Why is it so hard for fun to appear in the Foreign Film catergories? Is it just accepted, even at the oscar level, that foreigners make better films than the West?Assassin was shit.
>>63767743
Considering The Assasin is the only one i've ever seen posted on /tv/, I assume it's the most pleb of them..
>>63767743
The Assassin is too patrician for Oscars.
The list is okay. I wish Embrace of the Serpent could win, but I'm sure it will be Son of Saul.
>>63767892
You forgot about Mustang (mostly posted by pedos) and Son of Saul.
>>63767743
>The Brand New Testament
*Tips fedora*
>Embrace Of The Serpent
White guilt.
>The Fencer
Pretty good.
>Mustang
Feminst pedo garbage.
>Labyrinth of Lies
MUH SIX MILLION
>Son of Saul
MUH SIX MILLION
>Viva
"BOOHOO! I'M GAY"
>Theeb
Pretty good.
>Assasin
Best on the list.
>>63768424
It's not on the list
>>63768552
Really? Shit.
>>63768424
>white guilt
But the director isn't white.
>>63768779
But it's only being promoted because it appeals to self-hating white liberals.
>>63768807
It's more about the noble savage, really. And the film is beautiful, so who cares?
>>63768898
>It's more about the noble savage, really.
An idea promulgated by self-hating white liberals.
>And the film is beautiful, so who cares?
Because it's blatant propaganda
>>63767802
Tag was even worse, and no where near worthy of the faux prestige of an Oscar.
>>63768947
>because it's blatant propaganda
So is Battleship Potemkin.
>>63769026
And it should be judged just as critically.
>>63768988
It's better than what ever will win the oscar.

>guys! Colonialism never happened! White people never conquered the Americas!
>>63769051
I bet you love Triumph of the Will, /pol/cuck.
>>63769146
>Korean
:^)
>>63769156
European conquests were the best thing that ever happened to South America. WIthout it, those savages would have wiped each other out eventually. Now they can use computers and bitch about their white ancestors.
>>63767802
>Sion Sono
>fun
Maybe if you are underage.
>>63768424
I didn't really like Assassin at all. Felt disjointed yet static. What did you like about it? Why am I a pleb?
>>63769247
It wasn't the best film, just the best film mentioned in this thread. Entertaining action/historical drama with no cultural marxist agitprop.
>>63769244
>Maybe if you are underage.
>he hasn't seen Sono's magnum opus
xD
>>63767743
>The Brand New Testament
How? It had it's moments and sadistic dad was cool, but that whole movie was one sequence repeated over and over again.
>>63769232
>civilizations older than most European cultures
>WIthout it, those savages would have wiped each other out eventually.
kek, this is what /pol/cucks believe.
>>63769247
Because the entire film is like a beautiful painting. The plot is irrelevant.
>>63769402
>>civilizations older than most European cultures
That somehow never developed beyond tribal barbarism
>WIthout it, those savages would have wiped each other out eventually.
Most of them were in long periods of decline.
>>63767743
None of my favorite 5 foreign films are on that list (including, The Assasin), making this list a pleb list
>>63769445
I can agree with that. Great mis en scene and shots.
>>63769451
>That somehow never developed beyond tribal barbarism
You mean like European barbarians before they conquered the Rome?
>>63769445
>just turn your brain off
>xD
>>63769578
Yes, and then developed once they assimilated Roman Culture and Christianity.
>>63769596
>assimilated
They destroyed the Roman Empire.
The assimilated barbarian trope is nothing but crap made up by German nationalists and carried on by their white supremacist fellow travelers.
>>63769596
And yet they were still more primitive than the Asian cultures.
>>63769696
The Roman Empire survived sometime into the middle ages, and especially in the Byzantine portion of the empire.
>>63769704
But quickly surpassed them.
Why retarded white supremacists even watch films if they can't tolerate other view points or appreciate different cultures?
>>63769800
Why do you even go on the internet if you think dissenting viewpoints all come from white supremacists?
>>63769742
>quickly
Not really. The European civilization has been dominating the world for roughly 200-300 years at best.
>>63769584
It requires using the right side of your brain instead of the left. There's more to film then a traditional narrative.
>>63769970
>It requires using the right side of your brain instead of the left.
>buying into the left vs right brain paradigm
>There's more to film then a traditional narrative.
Literally wrong.
>>63769866
And yet the proportional rate and which the west advanced technologically is fantastic from a historical perspective.
>>63770065
It's impressive, yes. It doesn't mean it won't change in the future.
>>63770445
I can't see the poo-in-loos or the spics getting ahead too much.
>>63770469
What about the Chinese?
And it's not like we are talking about one European culture. The Anglo-American culture has been dominating the world for maybe 100 years and the fall from grace can be really swift. France is a perfect example.
