Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I bet you could make ice tea instructions complex.

One simply can't lump so much: European films, for instance, must be considered differently than "Asian."
Hong Kong produces more (except, perhaps, for India) films than any other market. There are many styles of martial art films, almost all of which, by definition, are plot driven. Films like those of Wong Kar-Wai are in a very, very small minority.
India also produces few films similar to those of Ray or Mehta, most being Bollywood cheapie productions. Ditto China. Taiwan.
I might add that Brasilian films, also, follow this general rule of many plot driven, few character.
Perhaps Patrick can enlighten about the situation in France: I'd bet that most films there are NOT character driven but the ones we know, historically, and the ones exported to our shores, are.
When one says "international" or "foreign," it takes in a lot of ground, doesn't it? :-0
