I read some of Out of Asia, (an interview of Zhang Yimou) and he said that the films he made were not aimed at a western audience, and that he didn't understand the western culture as he couldnt speak the language. This was interesting although in the interview some of the things he said contradicted although there may have just been translation issues as he was speaking through an interpreter (he began by talking about wanting to make films about the Cultural Revolution, but then later said he had no interest in politics or political films)
He also said that censorship in chinese films played a big role in what they could and couldnt do and implied that it was very limiting. this could be an interesting topic to look at (the Chinese censorship of film)
