My Yearend Roundup: The BEST FOREIGN FILMS of 2021 That I Have Seen
December 29, 2021
Many movie contents are available on many international streaming sites such as Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, MUBI, iQiYi, Viu, as well as local streaming sites, KTX, Upsteam and Vivamax. On November 15, theaters are back in action with movies like Dune and A Quiet Place 2. We can finally see Hollywood movies the way they should be.
I think this year, 2021, I have seen more feature films than in the past. I have about 350 movies registered in my inbox until 2021. Among them are the classics of world cinema that I have seen only this year, such as "La Dolce Vita" (Fellini 1960), "Cadrat e Cherbourg" (Demi 1964), "Night of the Living Dead" (Romero, 1968) and "The Filipino Family Evolution" (Diaz, 2004), all thanks to Moby.
Therefore, I thought it would be best to divide the list of the best films of the year-end into three parts: English and non-English foreign films in this post, and Filipino films in separate posts. This list does not include movies that have not been streamed or shown locally (no VPN required). It includes films such as West Side Story, Belfast, Foreign Dispatch, Licorice Plaza and the latest blockbuster of the year, Spider-Man: No Way Home, whose release has been pushed back to 8pm in January 2022.

Suspecting that his father was behind the ambush, Shang-chi travels to Macau to warn his sister Xialing (Meng'er Zhang), who runs an underground fight club there.
9. Spencer by Pablo Larren ( My full review )
It was 1991. The royal family was gathering at the Queens estate of Sandringham in Norfolk for the holidays. Because of her long marriage to Charles at the time, Diana was in no rush to be with someone else. What was this stressful weekend for a depressed princess who sees herself as Anne Boleyn and dreads teaching her son to shoot pheasants?

7. In the Heights by John M. Choo ( my full review )
A young man named Osnavi (Anthony Ramos) owns a small shop in a poor Hispanic neighborhood in Washington Heights, New York City, that sells coffee, drinks and lottery tickets. But he doesn't think he has gained much in his life yet and wants to fulfill his dream of returning to his homeland, the Dominican Republic. The story of how Usnavi got his unique name will have its own scene when he tells the story of a group of children.
James Bond (Daniel Craig) is separated from Madeleine Swan (Léa Seydoux) after Specter agents carry out an assassination while she is in Italy. Five years later, Bond, now retired from MI6 and working for the CIA, is implicated in the kidnapping of scientist Valdo Obrushev (David Dencik), who developed a deadly DNA-based transdermal toxin using a nanobot technology of called Heracles.
5. The Power of a Dog by Jane Campion ( my full review )
Set in Montana in 1925, Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George (Jesse Plemons) are two wealthy brothers who run a sprawling ranch. The two brothers were very different in attitude. While Phil was arrogant, generous and insensitive, his brother George was cold, precise and calm. Phil didn't care about his education or his wealth, he preferred to work with cattle rather than with members of his social class.
4. Don't Look For Adam McKay (My Full Review)
Kate Dipasky (Jennifer Lawrence), a graduate student in astronomy at Michigan State University, discovers that a new comet is bound for Earth. Professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) calculates that in about six months a comet the size of a Pacific mountain will strike and cause a catastrophe that will destroy the entire planet. However, when they try to report Janie Orleans (Meryl Streep) to the President of the United States, they only get an error message.
3. ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE Zack Snyder ( my full review )
This new version of Justice League is no longer about the story or the cast (as most saw it in 2017), but about the style of the stories. The long scene captured in this cut definitely leads to a more logical evolution of each hero's various branches. Whedon shortened his story when he decided to make Steppenwolf the only villain in his version, but Snyder has bigger plans for the DC Extended Universe considering that all futuristic thrillers promise a lot of recaps.
2. Tick, Tick...Boom! Author: Lin-Manuel Miranda (my full review)
Jonathan Larson turns 30 in a few days, but he's still waiting for a table at the restaurant. He had been writing his music "Superbia" for eight years and was about to present his songs in a workshop, but the most important songs were still missing in the second act. His girlfriend Susan, a frustrated dancer, is serious about getting a teaching job in town. His childhood friend Michael became a successful advertising manager.
1. DUNE By Denis Villeneuve (My full review)
In 10191, the Emperor appointed Duke Leto of House Atreides of the planet Caladan to rule the desert planet Arrakis in place of House Harkonn. Arrakis is the only source of mixed species. But recently, the inhabitants of Arrakis, the blue-eyed freemen, began to demand their rights. His son Pali had visions of Arakis, the bloody conflict they would encounter and the girl Farman he would meet.
Denis Villeneuve inspired his vision for Dune through his beautifully illustrated work and cool computer-generated effects. The pace of his narration was deliberately slow (as he usually does), but the momentum never wavered. The multi-dimensional story is surprisingly easy to follow and understand, although the plot itself is complex with many planets and people. The acting is generally calm and serious.

4. Memoirs of Apichatpong Weerasethakul (My Full Review)
One morning before dawn, Jessica (Tilda Swinton) is awakened by a loud roar that she cannot hear alone. This sound was heard over and over, at random times and places around town. With the help of a young sound engineer (Juan Pablo Urrego) and an old fisherman (Elkin Diaz), he searches for the origin of this noise.
3. WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY By Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (My full review)
The three episodes of this film are deep and intense conversations between imperfect characters. The dramas are all weird and confusing (especially Episode 2, about a young woman who sets out to seduce and expose the teacher), but not a word is wasted in any of the dialogue. Interesting character studies, every episode is interesting and thought provoking.
2. DRIVE MY CAR by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (My full review)
Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima) is invited to Hiroshima for a special production of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya with an entirely different cast. In addition to the Japanese actors, Yelena is Chinese, Serebryakov is Filipino (Perry Dizon), and Sonya is silent (using Korean sign language). A passive woman named Misaki (Toko Miura) is assigned to move into the reserved house, which is an hour away from the scene.
1. Hands of God by Paolo Sorrentino (my full review )
In the eighties it was the city of Naples, Italy. Fabito (Filippo Scotti) is a sensitive young man who lives at home with his parents Saverio (Tony Cervelo), Maria Chiesa (Teresa Sabonangelo) and his brother Marchino (Marlon Joubert). His extended family is very close as they spend time together, walking on the beach or watching Diego Maradona play football with his hometown team Napoli. An unexpected tragedy has focused his life and Fabito plans to become a director.
Written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino, this adult film is said to be beautifully crafted based on his youth growing up in Naples. Sorrentino, who won the Oscar for best foreign-language film in 2013 for "The Great Beauty," trained with local Neapolitan director Antonio Capuano, the namesake of a brutally honest character (Ciro Capano). Fabio was also present in the film industry.
