Since films like GANDHI (and the "Mad Max" films) have grossed a *lot* more
than $20 million, I presume that the Boston Globe means "foreign-language
film," rather than "foreign film."  (That's what the Academy Award
classification is, by the way, so that films made in Great Britain, Australia
et al are in competition with American films, rather than Continental European
films, Asian films, etc.)
