The stories will have different backdrops, and they can proceed in ways that foreigners might find quite unexpected. Different cultures have different assumptions about how to make a love story truly romantic, what's funny or weird, or what counts as a faux pas that eventually dooms the protagonist. Even the same trope can be executed very differently because of these factors.

The cinematography will be different. The music will be different -- Bollywood BGM feels very different from K-Pop. The fact that you'll be reading subtitles all the time will certainly make for a fresh experience, especially when you're listening to something like Japanese where the sentence structure makes it difficult to translate the timing of the punchline into English. Action sequences will emphasize different things, often because of budget or location constraints, but sometimes simply because there was a local fad for something. There will be references to local traditions, literature, and historic events that make really interesting rabbit holes to follow.

Is this a joke? Do you actually think american film captures every single possible artistic experience?

I'm not sure if this movie is funny (it's very subjective) but, thank you.

That's one of the most original movie I've seen in a long time, it's so clever and unpredictable.

Really, thank you :-) !

Rather than recommending films, which can turn into a long list since I'd find it difficult to decide which deserves more attention, I've shorlisted a number of highly respected and influential directors that I've closely followed (not in a social media kind of way)

* Majid Majidi

* Abbas Kiarostami

* The Makhmalbaf family (https://www.makhmalbaf.com)

* Dariush Mehrjui

* Bahman Ghobadi

* Jafar Panahi

* Bahram Beizai

* Asghar Farhadi

Most of these managed to create amazing films despite being closely watched and heavily censored by the authorities.
