Streaming of a foreign film NOT in distribution in the US is mostly impossible. There may be some that have been picked up by Kanopy or others but for the most part if a film has not been bought for other types of distribution ( theatrical , video, netflix etc) the rights holder is not going to sell for educational streaming. The behemoths of rights in Europe like Gaumont, Studio Canal, Bavaria and others are difficult to deal with for a single show of a film not in distribution ( usually 500 Euros per show plus international shipping and other fun things).
I do agree with Brian that Amazon in other countries is a good resource and more films have English titles than you might think but check carefully.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
