I meant a small percentage of the French population.

Um not a dude, Cannes is an overblown shitfest, that’s like saying the Oscars represent popular movies in America which they obviously don’t, box office popularity does not correlate with award shows. I am a French citizen, have been living and working here for almost 26 years, married to a French man and yes I…

Plus, a small percentage?!? 53% of white women voted Trumpy.

Um, do you interact with French people....? That IS representative of their opinion. Even the most progressive feminist organization I could find over there was freaked out about appearing “too feminist” or somehow offending men.  Also, dude, the United States is HELLA racist and misogynist. Trump is not some random…

Eye roll. 2015-2017. Montpellier. Dude, where have you been? He’s invited to Cannes every single time he releases a film. They even joked about the molestation accusations at the last one. There’s a reason why he says the French love him.

Lets be clear, Woody Allen is a disgusting asshole who makes shit movies that people in France don’t watch

The article says that this isn’t representative of the country as a whole. And it is relevant what people in the industry think.

Le monde is a right wing straight laced news outlet and those 100 plus signatures are priviledged actresses neither of those things are representative of the opinion of French women or eve, French men, much like Fox News and those women who voted for Trump aren’t all of America. Let’s not generalise based on a very…

Should I be insulted that you’ve already racked up several more stars just for repeating what I clearly implied in my original comment? I’m bugged that my stars are fewer than for the person who simply explained my comment for the remedials.

The answer would be that he is representative, unfortunately, of the States.

I still think you can critique the structures and narratives of misogyny in another country (while remaining critical of your own). And, to be blunt, it’s pretty damn bad in France. It wasn’t “two old ladies,” it was 100+signatures, plus ‘LeMonde’, which gave a platform to the damn thing.

When was this? And where? If you were in Paris in the 90s or early aughts then ok but I live outside Paris and his movies aren’t even featured in our local multiplex, and no one I know admits to watching them they think his films are chiant which is a pretty good description of his nombriliste bullshit.

Saw two Allen films while living in France-large cinemas packed both times.

It’s just so.... weird. And the body language of the daughter on the right just gives me the chills. I’m trying to see it without the context of their father being the man that he is, but the pose is still weird.

Yeah, the US has Trump as it’s president. Do we really want to start painting whole other countries as one bad thing? Aren’t we just inviting other countries to paint us all as Trump loving monsters?

Narcos.

Lets be clear, Woody Allen is a disgusting asshole who makes shit movies that people in France don’t watch, his distributor can defend him all he wants his films don’t make money in France, les Tuches3 will get more bums on seats than any crap this creep releases and the opinions of two old ladies do not represent 60…

That’s true. He’s a confirmed pedophile.

You have to admit, ICE is a much catchier and hipper acronym than SS ever was.

And I am here for it!
