It's truly unfortunate that once again, with another year of remarkable international cinema, the Academy seeks to celebrate the same white european countries and Argentina, the only south american country that they ever recognise and there just leaves Mauritania the lone 'outsider' to help defend the nominations list as not being racist and xenophobic.
For my pick of the best international films of 2014 not nominated that you should definitely check out, we suggest:
The Attorney (South Korea)
Today (Iran)
Cantinflas (Mexico)
Eyes of a Thief (Palestine)
Teacher's Diary (Thailand)
