there were several excellent documentaries and animated films from the English-speaking world: Restrepo; Exit through the Gift Shop; Book of Kells; Pat Tillman Story; How to Train your Dragon.
But foreign films really dominated drama: Enter the Void; White Ribbon; Secret in their Eyes; Carlos; Mesrine; Dogtooth; Mother--- and this is off the top of my head w/only one of many Asian films represented. Chinese-speaking countries, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, S. Korea, Thailand, Hungary--- they've moved beyond the Hollywood dominated ideas that have overwhelmed and consumed the English-speaking market. The veteran English directors mostly are deadly bores, long on cinematic lectures about the woes of the proletariat concealed in depressing and decadent films. Enough, already.
