Using a categorical expression
The team wants a quick flag for movies whose original_language code starts with e (English, Estonian, …). Polars' categorical namespace has its own string-like expressions that work directly on the encoded column, no cast back to String needed.
movies_cat is available with original_language already cast to pl.Categorical.
