Chen Kaige--boy, I loved his "Farewell My Concubine." My favorite Zhang Yimou film is probably "Ju-Dou" (definitely redder than "Red").Agree about "Crouching Tiger": the state-of-the-art in crane- and wire-assisted human flying technology, but not groundbreaking otherwise.
You're right about the Asian cinema awareness problem. I know two American actors, one a voting member of AMPAS, who both thought Ang Li was Korean. I think the average American movie-goer is more interested in seeing "actors/stars" in films rather than "directors'/auteurs'" visions, so more Asian actors are going to have to break into American cinema/television (and not just for the "Cirque du Soleil" effects of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung). Where's Maggie Cheung (arguably the finest Asian actress) when we really need her?
Read a Q&A article featuring Roger Ebert in a U.S. Air flight magazine. "Dear Roger, I'd like to go see more foreign films, but my friends won't go to films in which they have to read subtitles. What can I do? Roger answers: I think you need smarter friends."
