Disney+ Hotstar is not the first platform that comes to mind when you think of international cinema, but it should be. The platform hosts a surprisingly deep library of international films — from recent festival darlings to classic art house titles.
This month, we highlight seven films that represent the best of what Hotstar offers: a Finnish drama about loneliness, a Japanese horror film that reinvents the genre, and an Indian co-production that proves our cinema can compete on any stage.
The best streaming platforms are the ones that surprise you. Hotstar, used correctly, is full of surprises.
