One of the strangest and most vexing things about reviewing movies for a trade paper like— which involves covering films at festivals and markets, as opposed to those consumer newspaper critics who follow the theatrical release schedule — is the fact that so many of the films we cover don’t have U.S. distribution at the moment we write about them. That’s the whole reason Variety is there: to give buyers, agents, and festival programmers an idea of where the quality lies.
Sometimes an enthusiastic critic can nudge a company into taking the risk on a foreign gem, but more often than not, the marketplace is too tough for a review to make a difference in a tiny film’s fate. And so the films never find their way to U.S.
Still, there are hundreds — thousands, really — of wonderful films stranded without American distribution, which is why I’ve taken this opportunity to look back over the past 10 years and spotlight 10 discoveries that it pains me to think U.S. audiences never got a chance to see. Here, for those who’ve always wondered what they’ve been missing, are the movies I believe it’s still not too late to share with American audiences.
