There have been a number of good French films in recent years, but they tend not to get picked up in the US. "Dream life of Angels" was pretty good, and Oliver Assays is an underrated French director. Also Doc - "The Gleaners and I" was a huge hit in France recently.
There does seem to be a generation of very slick, very bad, young directors though. All sucked on the teat of Advertising/Rock Videos presumably. Horrible, vacuous, idiotic stuff.
