Death of French cinema

My wife and I went out to watch the movie. We were watching Taxi 4. That's a Luc Besson film. In my understanding he was a good director who is good at making an interesting film.
We left the theatre after 45 minutes.

  1. Luc Besson has some more notable directorial work... La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element, Arthur and the Invisibles...

    Note that Besson wrote and produced, not directed this one. Gérard Krawczyk directed Taxi 2, 3 and 4. I find that action comedy movies usually don't stand up to that many sequels.

  2. We're talking about the "Taxi" series here, man... What exactly did you expect?

    Taxi 1 was fine, after that it became just plain silly.

  3. I had half a mind that this might be the difference between the work of a genius and an ordinary director.

  4. Dear Friend,
    French cinema was fail because they are hyperproductive,they go in quantity and not in quality.Something like "Bolivood",India cinema.I look before two years excelent interwiev with legend of French cinema Tcheky Kayro http://www.thelin.net/laurent/cinema/photos/la_cite_de_la_peur/tcheky_karyo.jpg
    when he was guest in Belgrade.He also criticized French movie,because in according with his words -French make 200 cheap and bad movies per years.French imitate Hollywood.They made several movies which are imagined like great hits on world level like rabbish called "Pact with the wolves" or "King Dancing" and so on.Japanese movie has a great perspective.In my country in TV show dedicated to movies called "Shockcoridor" authors of show always remain place for Japanese moviese.The last years on one TV station was a "month of Japanese movie".I was delighted how much Japanese movie is fresh,full of new ideas.Best USA horror movies in the last few years are plagiats of Japanese movies:))And what is big irony though Hollywood invested lot of money in that plagiats ,original Japanese movies are still better.
    Kind Regards
    Vanja

  5. I need to look into carefully before I choose. We don't often go to the movies.

  6. I like French red wine. Even cheapest French red wine is more tasty than most expensive other country's red. One valueless movie makes the whole reputation of French movies worse. I hope they make a few but a good movie.
