>It sad frenchfags are too poor to make movies
We're not, the issue lies elsewhere entirely.
French cinema and television is highly controled and subsidized by a gov agency called CNC (National Council for Cinema). While said agency was originally created post-WW2 to ensure that we're not completely submerged in foreign media, CNC smothers creativity and only ever supports directors making what the champagne socialist Parisian boomers running it since the 80s deem "politically and socially councious" movies and shows, that is to say globohomo slop, or at best brainless comedies and romances. As a result, you barely ever see French historical or genre fiction (stuff like scifi, fantasy or horror) anymore outside of very niche productions. Instead you have an abundance of slop, of which only 2% ever makes a profit (that's an actual figure from a treasury audit) but magically doesn't bankrupt its producers thanks to my tax money.
