look this isn't universal or a hard rule but I think as a general rule of thumb if you can adequately summarize the whole plot of a flim without once having to mention the culture (or any cuturally specific elements, i.e. specific holidays) which the characters belong to, then maybe the film is not actually explicitly About that culture. Even if it does feature it.
