It is definitely a cultural thing. If a novel has a 1000 page requirement then their films certainly emulate that. 8^)
One of the Russian classics I saw recently had a very uptick pace as it followed its characters through an event filled story: 'The Rider Named Death'. It's about a professional assassin in 1912 Russia whose political party (not communist) believes in violent revolution. Well acted, interesting.
