I know that ken Watanabe(last samurai) is also playing in the movie.He is 100% japanese and gorgeous as well

As for the non english speaking countries,almost everything we see is translated.So this equation , translated=artsy etc has no meaning for outside the u.s.countries.The production studio and the director is most of the times what makes the film artsy,mainstream,independent etc.I suppose it will be as mainstream as the last samurai.Not bad but not good.
