Top 10 Eastern European Films of All Time

Eastern European cinema has produced some of the most critically celebrated and artistically significant films in the history of the medium, with national schools from Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and the former Soviet Union consistently winning top prizes at Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. The Czechoslovak New Wave of the 1960s, Polish Cinema of Moral Concern of the 1970s, and the Romanian New Wave of the 2000s are recognised as landmark movements in world cinema. Eastern European directors have won 14 Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film, more than any other region outside Western Europe.
