You got me there, Steve. You're right. I'ts just when a potential audience sees "... in French, Serbo-Croatian, and English with English subtitles" they tend to be turned off. The other films you mentioned also had a large head of steam behind them in their advertising. That's why this baby needs a general release, then the great unwashed will tempted to go see it--which they must--whereupon the filmmakers will make enough dough for their next production.

A tough sell (Reply to this comment)
by Stephen_Murray,  in Movies
American ethnocentrism is insurmountable, though "Il Postino," "Life Is Beautiful," and "Crouching Tiger" got relatively large audiences and some Hong Kong masters have drawn numbers of monolingual English-speaking viewers. But quite a bit of "No Man's Land" including the most chilling stuff is in English. Isn't that a selling point?
