La Chasse aux papillons

This article is little more than a subsection of its credits. No commentary about why the film may be interesting or notable. A fragrance called La Chasse aux papillons, from "a niche French perfume company", dominates English and French Google searches — Fly by Night  ( talk )  20:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NFILM point 3. There is significant coverage about this film in this article in Télérama, and also coverage in this The New York Times piece verifies that Otar Iosseliani received the Pasinetti Award for Best Direction for the film (which is an award of the Venice Film Festival). We shouldn't be hasty in judging notability from coverage in a google search when the topic is from 1992, before reliable sources widely published online content.

 * SOLID Keep even a little research shows this 1992 film won a Confédération Internationale des Cinemas d'Art et d 'Essai (C.I.C.A.E.) Award at Venice Film Festival, won the Pasinetti Award for 'Best Film' at Venice Film Festival, received a European Film Award nomination for 'Best Achievement' from the European Film Academy, won the Andrei Tarkovsky Award at Moscow International Film Festival, and received a Nika award nomination for 'Best Film' from Russian Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences. Further, we LOOK at its multiple multiple international releases 1992 through 1995, and it screening more than five years later at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival in 2003. Its original French release title is La Chasse aux papillons, but it is also known as A Caça às Borboletas in Portugal, as Caccia alle farfalle in Italy, Jagd auf Schmetterlinge in Germany, as Kelebek avi in Turkey, as Lepkevadászat in Hungary, as Peplebze nadiroba in Georgia, as Polowanie na motyle in Poland, and as To kynigi tis petaloudas in Greece. In English it was released as The Butterfly Hunt, Hunting Butterflies, and Chasing Butterflies. WP:NF is soundly met for this 1992 French film. It matters not one iota that the actors and actresses might be unknown in the United States, as notable elsewhere is perfectly fine with en.Wikipedia. What we do with notable stubs that can benefit from improvment is work to improve them... not delete them.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:24, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, an award-winning film, critical response available and cited in the article; Ioseliani is arguably the most notable Georgian film producer.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The nominator also missed the full-length 1993 review in The New York Times.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Upon reading WP:NF I have determined this film does meet the criteria easily, there are 2 reviews 5 years after release, there are multiple awards so Keep 86.160.21.44 (talk) 08:16, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
