Favourite foreign-language films

We're not big fans of "best of" lists here at the SFC blog (who decides? what criteria? to what end?), but we are fans of the blogger Jai Arjun Singh, whose frequent posts on film are always worth reading. So when he posts a list of fifty of his favourite foreign language films (foreign language taken to mean both non-English and non-Hindi, since Jai is Indian), we take note. We also note that of all the films on his list, only two appear to have been screened at SFC, though a few of his "honourable mentions" have been shown, as well as different films by directors on his list.
