Why is it so hard for American filmmakers to do Europe, especially Eastern Europe? Is it really hard to get any foreign setting right? Is it our predilection for the Disney version of foreign cultures? We always perseverate on decor, the piñata, the balalaika etc. Those are the obvious things. We do not seem to be good at the small historical details . I watched Shop around the Corner and To Be or Not To Be this week. The use of Hungarian and Polish, the correct pronunciation, are details that you rarely see from an American filmmaker.
Do Filmmakers from other countries have an equally hard time creating American settings?
what might RICHARD Brooks have included in the Brothers KARAMAZOV to NOT have it look like a road company of Dr ZHIVAGO?
Did ZHIVAGO look more Russian?
these and any other questions answered are welcome
