Of course. And there are lots of avant-garde/experimental/undependent
films that acknowledge influences from "high culture" such as Gaudi.
In the sense of "not financially dependent" there could also be
undependent film meditations on Batman etc. I reacted the way that I
did not because there aren't good examples of superhero meditations
but because in my experience a lot of films that purport to examine
mass culture are actually repeating, not differing from and not
critiquing, its values.
