I was salivating over Jean Eustache's, "La Mere et la Putain" before you could spell Francophile :-).
French film is far too rich and complex to fit into the cubbyhole you wish.
Bresson, Melville, Truffaut, Rohmer, Varda, Chabrol, and many others revolted against the Hollywood formula, against the ideas of "hero" as had been set for several decades. Character development? Not a factor in many, especially New Wave, directors' palette as characters could shift in the same film, from scene to scene, adrift without logical framework. How to "develop" in such an existential free-for-all?
Anyhow, we're far afield of my reaction to the original poster's idea.
