Thank you for your advice, but I am quite familiar with the Asian cinema. I had posted on perhaps hundreds of movies from that region, so no need to patronize.My fairly recent shift from them has some justification. I had noticed that some of them - especially recently - had been made with an eye on catching the Western viewer through gentle manipulation and eploytation of the "exotic" element, and I dislike that. I am not trying to present that as a predominant or even true trend, just my strong impression. So I am not diving into it head-long, but just as before I keep paying attention to what's good out there. My life is too short to cover all the good movies, unfortunately.
