An obvious question, but do directors of films made in Japan have to
be directed by Japanese people? What if the director is Korean?

It is crazy that this is still something that people would fret about
in 2024 (vs. 1983) but I guess I'll prepare myself for the online
outrage.

Wenders was visibly embarrassed and mentioned that he was surprised and humbled by that news. I talked to a lot of people who were scratching their heads about the nomination (I’ve met few people who dislike the film), but why not? It’s interesting to think about what’s generating their reaction.
