"If one compares art films of the US vs. other countries' the differences you agree with vanish."
Please refer to my prior post. Approximately 15% of films from the U.S. are made outside the Hollywood system - independent films. I will agree that the majority of those films are generally character driven, but they make up a small percentage of U.S. based films.
"The reviewers that hold that opinion probably aren't considering the totality of foreign film but merely the art house ones which make it across the pond."
Well, if you live in the U.S. and have seen the film, you likely have seen it because it has made it across the pond. On the other hand, if you have not seen the film, how do you know it exists? Care to give specific examples of all these films that you have seen and are not available in the U.S., either in a theater or on D.V.D.? Perhaps then we could discuss specific examples rather than these unknown films to which you refer.
