Noticed how English(as in the language, not Briton) movies and television series are selling good? Any of you know about good French movies or shows?
Its not that I'm blaming France or its people, I'm blaming stupid agents, movie producers, artist managers for shoving crap into their clients mind and using piracy as an excuse for unpopular feedbacks.

Sorry if I have offended anybody here, feel free to point out my mistakes.

I think "The Dreamers" was French. Man that movie was messed up, but Eva Green was nude through 90% of it.

That French muay thai movie is pretty good :)

There are plenty of other ones but I can't remember their names as I usually watch French movies on tv.

To get back on topic:
Two of my regular private trackers has closed down sadly and one of my back up trackers.

This kind of sucks.

So a few French movies were named and one director.  I can think of a few others, but it's still a small fraction of wanted movies.  Many haven't even seen Nikita since it was subbed, but have seen that bastardized American version.

AceHigh:
Oh, almost forgot probably the best French movie I have seen:

Indigènes
English title: Days of Glory

There was also a cool movie about some guys climbing the building, I think it was French.



Anyway the main point is that I think it exactly because the movies in english are most sold is the reason why governments are extra protective of the "minority" in the world of films. Think like this, when a movie in Norwegian is released and is aimed at a population of 4 and a half million, then piracy can really hurt the sale. On other hand when Hollywood releases something aimed at a global audience, then piracy can't hurt the revenue that much.

@Dragoon AceHigh: Yamakasi, yeah. It was fun (the plot sucked, but the speed climbing was awesome...). Seeing that we seem to at least partiallyshare tastes in movies, I'll have to check out Indigènes.

Speaking from an European's point of view, the cultural might of the US movie industry is simply too much for anything more than singular, exceptional pieces to make it over there, and then perhaps only a few years after their original screening in the country where they were originally made. Another part of the problem is that Europe is fragmented to a high degree, the EU notwithstanding, which accounts for cultural quibbles and disregard of other countries' movies.

The aforementioned is only my own personal opinion, based purely on observations over the years, and I have nothing else to back it up with.
