One thing I wonder is if there's a difference between UK and Europe here. I'm supremely unknowledgeable in this area, but I've seen a lot of European films which are incredibly visual and fairly low on dialogue.
oops yes, you are absolutely right. It was reflex to lump Britain in with Europe on this, just because I tend to on everything, but in fact I guess the traditions are quite different, in terms of film. TV I don't really know.
