It is a surprise when the list does not include China’s “Flowers of War”, by director Zhang Yimou, “Le Havre”, a Finland’s film which won the FIPRESCI award at the Cannes Film Festival or “Where Do We Go Now?” of Lebanon, which took the Audience’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.

Other notable movies which are not in the list include: “The Turin Horse” of Hungary, “Once Upon a Time in Anatolia” of Turkey, “Miss Bala” of Mexico and “Declaration of War” of France.

Movies in this list include Denmark’s “SuperClasico”, Canada’s “Monsieur Lazhar”, Iran’s “A Separation”, Poland’s “In Darkness”, Germany’s “Pina”, Morocco’s Omar Killed Me” and Belgium’s “Bullhead”.

“Thang Long Aspiration” tells about the chaotic period of Vietnam’s feudal Le and Ly Dynasty in 9th century. It won a silver prize for Best Film and two golden prizes for Best Director and Best Supporting Actor at Vietnam’s Golden Kite Award last year.

The 84th annual Academy awards will take place at the Kodak theatre in Los Angeles on February 26, 2012.
