Foreign-Language Oscar Winners

Get ready for this year’s Oscars with a massive lineup of past winners of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film! This cross section of the last seven decades of international cinema includes masterpieces by titans like Akira Kurosawa ( Rashomon ), Federico Fellini ( 8½ ), and Ingmar Bergman ( Fanny and Alexander ); contemporary art-house hits by directors such as Asghar Farhadi ( A Separation ), Michael Haneke ( Amour ), and Paolo Sorrentino ( The Great Beauty ); incendiary political parables from Hungary ( Mephisto ) and Bosnia and Herzegovina ( No Man’s Land ); high-water marks of the Czechoslovak New Wave ( The Shop on Main Street , Closely Watched Trains ); a Soviet epic of unparalleled scale ( War and Peace ); and, of course, a handful of left-field surprises (it is the Academy Awards, after all).
