Jason Solomons attends the Rendez-vous French cinema event at the Ciné lumière in London to consider the state of French cinema and whether it's really better than British.
He meets some of the leading figures in French film, including directors Bertrand Tavernier, Luc Besson and François Ozon to discuss similarities and differences in cinematic culture and both nations' sometimes fraught link to Hollywood.
Some representatives of the new generation of French acting and directing talent are also on hand. We meet Fred Cavayé, the director of Pour Elle (Anything For Her), which was remade for Hollywood as The Next Three Days, starring Russell Crowe. Tahar Rahim, the star of Jacques Audiard's A Prophet and currently appearing in The Eagle, also pops in to chat.
