Western Europe, ...with Fritz Lang's masterpiece "M", his first sound film from the early 1930's (starring Peter Lorre).>>> "Garbage breeds garbage..." <<<
That's true of highfalutin "grey poupon" films as well. I've seen some European "garbage" that's just as bad or worse than anything Hollywood has to offer, and I actually DO like some European cinema.
BTW, labeling something as tasteful (i.e., more "human") doesn't necessarily make it better; it just means that someone may be suckered into paying to see it against their better judgment! If YOU like it, that's fine, but waxing poetic over a film one personally considers tasteful, or conversely, garbage, is entirely subjective. Another way of looking at it is that caviar may be held in higher esteem than a Big Mac because of it's target audience, but in the end it all processes out the same way!
I'm not saying that Kurosawa, Fellini, Bergman and even (grown) Tarkovsky aren't inspired directors, but if much of their work is perceived as pretentious and/or inaccessable and fails to connect with the masses, then why is that necessarily the masses' fault? Insulting the taste of folks who may prefer certain kinds of Hollywood films because you don't approve of the subject matter just makes you appear an out-of-touch curmudgeon.
