Well I don't know much about French aside from the joke but Cannes obviously has way better taste than Hollywood.

The neat part is, with social media and global internet, culture are generally degenerating regardless of countries. If I were American citizen(gladly Im not) I might as well just let them in to get some tax money, and potentially see if the industry can be used as a soft propaganda machine. Just like Hollywood.

There are hundreds of small film festivals all over the United States each year. The biggest that I know is probably Sundance Film Festival. They have just as much "taste" (whatever that means) as Cannes (Film Festival). France also produces lots of shitty French language films that never leave the French-speaking world. Canal+ is the gold standard for French language film production.

film nerds gonna films nerds. What I mean was Plame vs Oscar since bro was asking mainstream sorry for the confusion. And just bcz French do shit movies too doesn't invalidate the statement sadly. Don't get me wrong. Nor do I think French is that superior.
