Do you not know that the Oscars are American vits? It is common sense to know that the Academy is an American institution.
I am referring to films that are predominately made for the English language market.
As for Cries and Whispers, it missed the eligibility criteria due to late release in 72'. Films still get promoted somehow and it shouldn't have needed to have been submitted, if it was already on their radar and then considered best picture worthy by industry film snobs. 1) Again, they're not called the American Film Award. You mentioned film festivals in a previous post. Why is it OK for them to award movies of every country, even though they're held in the same country every year? 2) Why is that relevant? It's not called the "Most Popular Movie" Award. 3) So you don't like that movie and those who do like it are snobs? Ummm... OK? Those rules were made to give a boost to movies voters may not have the opportunity to watch. In this case, they did manage to watch CRIES AND WHISPERS as a general release.

The Academy is not short up of enough quality English language films for contention for Oscar. That is their main focus and always has been. Other award institutions that are not from English language speaking countries, need the diversity, because they don't have the same production output or viewer interest in films that aren't in English. India isn't short up for their own Bollywood film productions, so will only nominated their own films.
If you don't know by now anyway, that most popular is what usually wins the day with many of the Academy voters. Not what could be considered or deemed best.
Begman made films for his own entertainment. He used the color red in his film to signify the soul. Well, did he expect others to see it that way? What is soul Ingmar and others may not see it as red, whatever it is. He was artful, but pretentious.
