Generally speaking North America receives only the best of the foreign film catalog in any numbers -- so we get 1 or 2 out of every 100 films over there show up. Usually the Cannes winners. So it SEEMS like they make superior films because gee the last 8 foriegn films I rented were all terrific.In America we get all the 100 films released and the 1 or 2 good ones out of the pile we either missed because Blockbuster would rather carry 2 full racks of Ace Ventura.
Also, Hollywood is bound by mega corporations just like most stereo companies and the music industry and the interest is selling sure-fire hits reigns supreme.
I watched a Canadian film called Maelstrom that was narrated by a salmon on the chopping block(and it won best Canadian film and was not a cartoon). There is no sure fire hit in this.
That film illustrates that filmmakers want to do different things than Matrix part III or dole out another Superman film with a plot thinner than an Olsen twin.
