Utopian as that might sound—the idea of letting the whole world in– it is clearly a goal of the newly awakened Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The introduction to the Academy’s RAISE platform, an online portal used to screen Oscar Best Picture contenders for inclusiveness, states the case in bold terms. “The representation and inclusion standards are designed to encourage equitable representation on and off screen to better reflect the diverse global population,” it says.

contenders is announced, we’ll view a wonderfully diverse menu of films, all of them rooted in a specific national culture, few of them calculated to embrace “the diverse global population” .The Worst Person In The Worldis un-Japanese, other than, possibly, the Chekhov subplot.character—from a particular national and ethnic framework and identity.
It’s okay. To be anything, you must first be something. And that applies as much to All-American teen escapades in the San Fernando Valley as to the travails of a Kosovan beekeeper . No matter what the somewhat Utopian Academy global inclusion platform may say.
