France is showing their big cultural problem

Regular cinema actors Trintignant and Girardot goes on to TV in this very weak road movie. The story is very boring. And most of all, for me, France is showing their biggest cultural problem of the last 20 years : Americanisation. Here, they really want to be like in Los Angeles : big car, blues music on the radio, references to Hollywood stars and a lot of English words in French dialogues. That's not what I want from a movie from France : I want to see the true cultural size of that country : not what they can't be. Very sad for France.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
