Indeed, something that pains me is that in the past couple of decades,
the US public has become less and less knowledgeable about French
cinema, at least in my experience. Also there is a retreat in
knowledge of the French language, but that is another story.
Distribution has something to do with the French film problem and with
the foreign film problem in general.
