Arbitrary markers of cinematic quality

Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AcademyAwardforBestForeignLanguageFilm)
(INTERVAL (“Chale Chalo (https://youtu.be/LQmHKl3oNu0)” from Lagaan)
Comparisons to Sergio Leone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SergioLeone) and Akira Kurosawa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AkiraKurosawa), and John Ford (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ford)
