Just a few  "Cultural Transition" film suggestions:

    OUT OF AFRICA

    THE KING AND I    and   ANNA

    THE NEW LAND

    FAR AND AWAY

    THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY

    THE TIME OF OUR LIVES   (veterans coming home from foreign war, WWII)

    HEAVEN AND EARTH  (Oliver Stone film re return from Viet Nam war)

    COMING HOME

    BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY


The Search Goal:
A colleague of mine is looking for films with plots featuring cultural
>transition(s), i.e. someone going to a foreign country, or someone coming
>home, and in both cases having to make some cultural adjustments and/or
>resisting changes.
