I'm trying to expand my film knowledge beyond contemporary cinema and have been working through various "greatest of all time" lists, but they often feel dominated by a very specific canon of American and European classics. I want to explore more globally and across different eras. For serious cinephiles, what are some of the most essential films from Asian, African, or South American cinema that you believe belong in any conversation about the best movies of all time, and what makes them so groundbreaking?
