Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM*

Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones.

No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM*

In fairness, Roberto Benigni being an overrated ass doesn't mean his only good film isn't good.
