If going to wild Oscar parties isn't really your thing, Criterion is offering a much more relaxed way to gear up for tonight's festivities. (And it doesn't require any awkward social interactions - or pants!)
For their free Hulu festival this week, Criterion has chosen some of their favorite Foreign Language Oscar-winning films from some of the greatest filmmakers in history, like Akira Kurosawa and Ingmar Bergman, and made them free to watch on Hulu — no subscription required. Here are the titles:
- Rashomon (dir. Akira Kurosawa, 1950)
- Babette's Feast (dir. Gabriel Axel, 1987)
- Black Orpheus (dir. Marcel Camus, 1959)
- Through a Glass Darkly (dir. Ingmar Bergman, 1962)
- (dir. Costa-Gavras, 1969)
- Fanny and Alexander (dir. Ingmar Bergman, 1982)
- The Great Beauty (dir. Paulo Sorrentino, 2013)
- Closely Watched Trains (dir. Jiří Menzel, 1966)

It might interest you to know, too, that there are also a couple of Oscar-nominated films on Hulu that can be watched for free
