Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards / Best Foreign Language Film

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since 1975 , the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards have recognized the best foreign or non-English language film.

France won most often in this category (with 13 wins, three of them in a row). Olivier Assayas (twice in a row), Ingmar Bergman , Claude Chabrol and Paul Verhoeven were the only ones to win twice in this category.

Excellent films

Notes: In some years there was an ex-aequo result and thus two winners. Since 2004, second-placed films have also been announced by the LAFCA jury.
