“4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days,” the much-touted Romanian abortion drama that took the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, has failed to make the short list for Oscar’s foreign-language feature. So has France’s vaunted entry, the animated “Persepolis.” When the nominations are announced next Tuesday, they will be drawn from these nine titles:

Austria, “The Counterfeiters,” Stefan Ruzowitzky, director

Brazil, “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation,” Cao

Hamburger, director

Canada, “Days of Darkness,” Denys Arcand, director

Israel, “Beaufort,” Joseph Cedar, director

Italy, “The Unknown,” Giuseppe Tornatore, director

Kazakhstan, “Mongol,” Sergei Bodrov, director

Poland, “Katyn,” Andrzej Wajda, director

Russia, “12,” Nikita Mikhalkov, director

Serbia, “The Trap,” Srdan Golubovic, director
