there were several excellent documentaries and animated films from the English-speaking world: Restrepo; Exit through the Gift Shop; Book of Kells; Pat Tillman Story; How to Train your Dragon.
But foreign films really dominated drama: Enter the Void; White Ribbon; Secret in their Eyes; Carlos; Mesrine; Dogtooth; Mother--- and this is off the top of my head w/only one of many Asian films represented. Chinese-speaking countries, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, S.

The veteran English directors mostly are deadly bores, long on cinematic lectures about the woes of the proletariat concealed in depressing and decadent films. Enough, already.
