We have our fourth contestant in the annual Oscar games for international cinema. If you missed the first three those were here.
🇹🇼 GODDAMNED ASURA
Taiwan (3 nominations, 1 win, and 2 additional finalists from 48 submissions)
The film is about a young man who orders a gun online and fires into a crowd on his 18th birthday.
