the numbers of guys who appear to watch foreign films seems tiny.
For some years now, Hollywood has come up way short in "art" films, the non-blockbuster, non-Marvel type films that have original content, intelligent scripts, ground-breaking cinematography, etc.
Iran, S. Korea, Japan, Argentina, Hungary, Hong Kong, China---- these countries are where the real filmmaking is occurring. To neglect these films is to miss out on the new Hitchcock, Lean, Stevens, Renoir, etc.
