World cinema has seen an increasingly great number of overlooked and smaller features work its way onto the market over the past five years due to booming cinematic movements around the world, help of a stronger online presence both in the ability to showcase and discuss these features, and cheaper ways of making films.
The hype and technology afforded filmmakers all over the world has grown exponentially as people become ever more interactive and connected to cinematic movements and styles outside the mainstream. The following are 15 films that are truly some of the best and most overlooked films of the decade so far and almost all of them are readily available for viewers in North America.
Writer’s Notes:
A. With the exceptions of Aramaki and Like Someone In Love, the first time the author viewed every film included below was in a theatrical setting which ultimately developed a different experience and bias for me than viewing these films in a home or non-theatrical setting so an exploration of these films under different initial viewing circumstances could be an interesting counterpoint to this list.
B. The author is also painstakingly aware of the fact that there are no female directors included in this list, something that very much disconcerts me but is ultimately what happened when narrowing down the features.
Directors such as Jane Campion, Claire Danes, Dietrich Bruggerman, Catherine Breillat, and ZeresaneyMehari among many others have been creating exemplary cinematic achievements throughout this decade and every other during cinemas history.
