Pretty much, the United States has long been perceived by French intellectuals as the greatest extension of Anglo-Saxon civilization (although arguably not true). Certainly it was much more subtle before this last century. It seems that the French are still sore about the fact that english is the default language throughout the world.
Let me correct you, it's not english which is the defualt language around the world, it piegon english.Originally posted by Mira

French are known not only for detesting Americans but mostly other group of humans. I am a member of too. But of course, the french will deny it. They hate certain people for "good" reasons.

Must over rated. It's going down, any-way. The best French director, is doing American style films, in English! (refering Luc Basson).Originally posted by KSO

The French have good taste in music - American music! What has France produced? Patrick Bruel? Edith Piaf? Air is ok, but waaay overplayed. Same with Mighty Bop. The Yellow Records label is about as good as it gets from France, and the UK's Warp Records blows them away.Originally posted by Ahava

Patrick Bruel is a great singer, air is cool too, "La tribu de dana" is a fantastic song (by manau), I love the song "une derniere danse" (kyo), furthermore I often don't know what the singers are but just hear French music and really like it.
But sure, they're not particularly outstanding in the world when it comes to music.

In astetics, Chinees cinema rules! (if to adopt an American phrase). In "intersting" films, there is the british films and even (Yes!!!!) American independent movies (like the Coen Broth.).
The best screen writers and screen players are British-American-Australians.
The rest is a pomposed nothings!!!
Still, the best frenchman seen in cinema is Peter Sellers! (half Jewish, btw).
Agree on Peter Sellers issue, don't agree on the rest is pomposed.Originally posted by Gilgamesh

There is no city in the world with so many movie theaters and so many different films showing anytime than Paris.
Ironically, my preferred realisator is Satyajit Ray (yes is above Renoir, KSO). Ray is a genius, his films transform you. Absolute beauty, truth.
