[edit] Change article name?

The name of this film is "Europa". Is there a Wikipedia policy on using alternate titles as article titles if the original is not the same as the one for the American market? If not, this film should be referred to as "Europa" and the article should have that title [or "Europa (film)"].—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.136.42.118 (talk • contribs).

The policy is to always use the English title. I'm not sure in this case, because as far as I know it was released as "Europa" in UK. Zentropa is the name of LvT's production company, so we might have to disambiguate. --Maitch 08:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

The recent DVD rerelease in Australia is called "Europa". Apparently the original title was changed in some regions to avoid confusion with the film "Europa Europa", which had come out just before. "Europa" was the orginal title, the title the director intended, and the title under which it was released in some regions. Therefore I think this article should be renamed. - Eyeresist 05:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

The title "Zentropa" was used for the American and Australian release, but not for the British or other international markets. Also, the title as it appears onscreen is "Europa"; it's not changed onscreen to "Zentropa" in any version. The recent DVD re-release of this film in all markets now bears the title "Europa" on all packaging. So I think the entry should be Europa (film).Lontano 13:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
