Sion Sono is such an odd film maker, I seem to vacillate between "this is genius" and "this is garbage" every other minute while watching his films.

That's what I don't understand. The odds that more than 10 people in Mongolia are going to give two shits about say an arthouse drama about an immigrant Latino family in Yellowknife are incredibly low. No matter how well-drawn the characters, or compelling the story, obscure arthouse films are not expected to find a big paying audience. So why not make that film free to watch in any market that you don't expect to be interested in it? How much revenue do you really stand to lose?

i do belive loss leader is a sound marketing principle, if you can eliminate an all or nothing mentality [ its all mine or you get nothing ]
