A Quiet Dream (Zhang Lu) – South Korea
Birdshot (Mikhail Red) – Philippines
Old Stone(Johnny Ma) – Mainland China via Canada
My Heart Leaps Up(Liu Ziwei) – Mainland China
Headshot (Kimo Stamboel & Timo Tjahjanto) – Indonesia
The first two on my list would definitely be on my shortlist for best films of the decade (non-English language or otherwise).
I also concur that 2016 was a very good year – even if I was doing a top 10, there would be things that I would reluctantly leave out. My honorable mentions would go to (in no particular order):
The Handmaiden (Park Chan-wook) – South Korea
A Man and a Woman (Lee Yoon-ki) – South Korea
Raman Raghav 2.0 (Anurag Kashyap) – India
After the Storm (Hirokazu Kore’eda) – Japan
Antiporno (Sion Sono) – Japan
Ma’Rosa (Brillante Mendoza) – Philippines
I am Not Madame Bovary (Feng Xiaogang) – Mainland China
The World of Us (Yoon Ga-eun) – South Korea

A Quiet Dream (Zhang Lu) – South Korea That one just missed my list, an understated gem. Really like his near experimental previous film Love and... also.

I've only ever seen the one Zhang Lu film, but would like to check out more of his work. The only copy of Love and ... that I can find appears to be unsubtitled.

I was lucky enough to see it at a festival. Would also be interested in seeing more of his work.

The Red Turtle [France/various] [no dialogue] Does it count? There's no dialogue so I guess technically it's not in English, plus it was produced by a country whose primary language isn't English. I'm ruling it eligible but it was a great year so if you want an alternative: 8 A Quiet Dream [South Korea]
