Oh what! American's didn't like it?
Yeah, it must be good then. Seriously, all these bad ratings just help perpetuate the belief that americans are just too dumb to appreciate any film that doesn't spoon-feed them the ending or the moral of the story.
I think the best example is comparing the 2 versions of Solyaris. The russian version is an existencialist struggle. The american version is just an egotisctical dumbed down version that could be resumed as "What if I'm not special". And don't even get me started with Anna Karenina...
