Yep, that's definitely on the list. The only issue that I am battling with is how to take something as a positive signal to build these patterns on. Because if i take the entire universe of films, there is probably every variation of arcs. But some have worked / resonated with audiences and some haven't. The way European Cinema has been funded (predominantly through governments) mean that they do the film circuit and then disappear - and the filmmakers are off to make the next film grant. How do i find the signal to identify whats a good film or not.

There was this snide remark that someone in hollywood made where they said, they make movies whereas Europe makes (art) cinema.

I havent figured out how to resolve that yet.

But yes to korean, japanese films - that's very much on the list.
