Non-English cinema has gained significant ground at the Oscars over the past ten or so years, but this may be a banner season for representation across categories. “The Zone of Interest,” “Perfect Days,” “Society of the Snow,” “The Boy and the Heron,” and “Anatomy of a Fall” are contending in races outside the standard package for international titles. High on Films critics Virat Nehru and Ronald Meyer assess the field following shortlist announcements and explore ways to improve the current system in place for selecting contenders.
