As 2022 draws to an end, Deadline’s critics have each chosen their top three movies of the year to hail from abroad. Some were festival world premieres, and some have made the International Feature Oscar shortlist (not all were put forth by their country of origin, nor are they each in a foreign language). Donkeys certainly made a splash, including in one 2020 French title that only saw U.S. release this year.
Here are Deadline critics’ top international films of 2022, based on their respected individual opinions (in alphabetical order by title):
ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT
The last time Erich Maria Remarque’s classic anti-war novel All Quiet on the Western Front was made as a theatrical motion picture was nearly a century ago in 1930. It took home Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. Can history repeat itself? I wouldn’t bet against it as this official German entry for Best International Film at the Oscars seems to have across the board support at the Academy having already been mentioned in five categories on the shortlist, as well as winning nominations from the Golden Globes and Critics Choice among other groups including the National Board Of Review. Director Edward Berger tells the story for the first time from the German point of view as young men are first enthusiastic, then increasingly devastated as they are being enlisted to fight in World War I. Not simply a war film, this is a movie startlingly relevant for today’s audiences with real comparisons to Ukraine, rising hate-speech and groups around the globe, and a general feel of the futility of war. Made nearly 100 years ago for the big screen, it packs an even bigger punch now. – Pete Hammond

Music consumption in the UK was up again in 2022 – or so says record industry trade group BPI in its customary end-of-year stats pack focused on how much music was streamed by and sold to British consumers in the last twelve months.Based on its crunching of Official Charts Company data, the BPI reckons that 159.3 billion audio streams occurred on digital music platforms in the UK last year, up 8.2% on 2021. This means that, in the average week, more than three billion audio streams are being played by British consumers across the various music services. Good times.If you do the magical (and only slightly mysterious) maths that equates streams to album sales, streaming accounted for 86.1% of recorded music sales last year, in terms of units rather than cash through the till.
