International cinema experienced several new waves that both shocked and thrilled global audiences, while filmmakers in America and Britain explored stories and topics that had previously been taboo outside the arthouse. Think about it: it was an era where the indies went big and blockbusters got even bigger. Were the ’90s the best decade for movies ever? It’s a statement that feels more controversial than it should be.
