Leviathan, a Russian film directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev, was a about a man living in a small fishing village with his wife and a son from a another marriage - in other words, a totally different kind of story than this year’s winner which is set in Auschwitz, following those who had to work in the gas chambers.

Life is tough once you’re used to Netflix.

The bad news is that all of these films, including this year’s winner, are hard to find online right now. Also nominated for Best Foreign Film this year at the Globes were The Brand New Testament (Belgium/France/Luxembourg), The Club (Chile), The Fencer (Finland/Germany/Estonia), and Mustang (France). Helen Mirren was super excited to present the award, namely because no film from Hungary has ever won a Golden Globe.
