Hello!
Would you like something to read that isn’t about Deadly Pandemics; or how to manage working from home while raising children during a quarantine; or ideal hand-washing methods and the perfect ditties to hum while scrubbing your digits?
ME TOO
So I started this movie review series, inspired by Bong Joon-ho’s groundbreaking triumph at this year’s Oscars. Parasite was the first non-English-language movie to win Best Picture, which is crazy!
So, I wanted to go back and see how many times the Best International Feature Film was objectively superior to whatever the Anglosphere managed to serve up.
Thought I’d run this in reverse-chronological order, which brought up the hilarious comparison between Green Book and Roma.
Have a look here!
The 2018 #Oscar for Best Picture went to The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s atompunk monster romance…
But was it really better than 2018’s Best Foreign-Language Film: A Fantastic Woman, the Chilean tale of transphobia?#InternationalOscarShowdownhttps://t.co/Y2FcFcbNsD

Please press the clap button if you have a Medium account. You can applaud up to 50 times, apparently, though I’m not sure it deserves that many clicks, frankly.
Hope you are all well and staying safe.
Much love
Tim
