The 10 Best International Movies of 2020 By Paste Movies  |  December 28, 2020  |  1:27pm The Golden Globes’ racist disqualification of filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung’s American-made Minari from its Best Picture categories will not be the last debacle from the embarrassing awards body—one that shouldn’t be given the time of day by anyone that enjoys movies nor screen time on a major network—but it does at least provide a jumping-off point to highlight the best movies of the year that were actually produced outside the United States. Though, of course, all genres were well-represen...

MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM: 4 STARS It’s hard not to watch “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” the vibrant adaptation of August Wilson’s play of the same name, now streaming on Netflix, without feeling a sense of loss. It’s Chadwick Boseman’s last performance and the life he brings to the role of ambitious trumpet player Levee acts as a poignant reminder of a career cut tragically short. Set in the roaring 1920’s Chicago, Viola Davis plays the titular character, a real-life musical trailblazer known as "Mother of the Blues." On a sweltering day in a dank basement recording studio, ...

Linguistic scholars will not be happy with the English translation for the title of this Danish film. When it was released in Denmark, it was called “Druk,” a Danish term for binge drinking.

Teachers ...

It's a theory that four middle-aged friends put to the test in Thomas Vinterberg's "Another Round," an uproarious and quite joyous celebration of life and all it has to offer. Martin (Mads Mikkelson, working in top gear here) has a beautiful wife and two kids, but feels hollow enough to ask his wife if he has become boring to his family. Tommy (Thomas Bo Larsen) loves teaching young kids how to play soccer, but the daily do...

Save this story for later. The latest film from the Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, “Another Round,” marks the second occasion on which he has teamed up with his countryman Mads Mikkelsen. In “The Hunt” (2012), Mikkelsen played a kindergarten teacher who is wrongly accused of being a pedophile. In the new movie, he plays Martin, a high-school history teacher who is accused, correctly, of being an alcoholic. Note that both protagonists (it’s hard to call them heroes) are in positions of civic responsibility, from which they slide: our two-bit modern answer to the ki...
