Well, I've been very disappointed with recent french movies which, for the most part, have tried to play the 'we-must-have-a-hit-in-the-usa' and so you end up with very superficial & pretty (Pacte des Loups), or superficial & stoopid (Taxi 1,2 etc)movies that the director hopes will be copied by Hollywood for big dollars. I don't think the fact that Messier of Vivendi has bought into Universal is going to help any. I'd probably give a slightly higher percentage of good european films than you, as we have a better access to them here but...I think the up-coming new cinema is from Taiwan (Millenium Mambo)and Hong Kong.
