Popflick’s Foreign Movie Bonanza: Stream the Art House into Your Home

The world embraces American cinema, but love is not necessarily reciprocal. Foreign films usually remain in the Art House circuit, where they compete for a limited number of screens with homegrown indie productions, which always have the advantage of cultural immediacy. From time to time, you get an odd breakout hit, like the Korean Best Picture Oscar winner “Parasite” (Bong Joon Ho, 2018) or the Indian action hit “RRR” (S.S. Ramajouli, 2022). But for every movie that makes it to your local theater, there are hundreds, thousands, that will not.
