It’s very hard for any subtitled film to break through in English speaking countries. In many ways you could argue that all foreign language films are underappreciated. Even the ones you assume that everyone must have heard of (Oldboy, The Raid, etc.) are often surprisingly ignored outside of film fan circles. But for every cross-over hit (meaning it’s getting a Hollywood remake) there are a ton of incredible films from around the world which charm and amaze a select few, and didn’t garner the wide-spread appreciation they undoubtedly deserve.

So without further ado, here are 25 underappreciated foreign language films from the last 10 years, 2004 – 2014.

I Saw the Devil (Korea, 2010)

This is the tale of revenge, murder, and how the lines between good and evil can blur so much you can no longer tell where one begins and the other ends – except that they both end in shocking violence. Master director Kim Jee-Woon crafted this stunningly executed tale of a psychopathic killer with no morals, who is relentlessly tracked by a cop with a personal vendetta, and no desire to see justice down by the letter of the law.
