On Sunday night, “Minari,” a film about the pursuit of the Amerian dream, won best foreign language film at the Golden Globe awards.
But the category has drawn more attention than the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which decides which movies are nominated for Golden Globes, would like.
Best foreign language film is a category that gives filmmakers and films that might otherwise go unnoticed by American audiences the opportunity to shine at one of Hollywood’s biggest events of the year. Theoretically, it acts as a window into the wider world of international cinema, giving voters and viewers alike a chance to expand their cinematic horizons and see a broader, more diverse range of movies.
