In Episode Three of my podcast, I go into detail about the ten greatest French movies of all time, as derived from a survey done by Sight & Sound magazine in 2012. There were forty-five French films on the list, and the images here display them all. To round the list out, I added five movies, acknowledged classics, to make it an more logical fifty.
In researching this post, I mostly relied on Wikipedia articles about the films and principle artists, in addition to my own viewing of the films (and decades of being a movie nut).
