"France is the place where it all started; the beginning of the medium we've so come to love. Since then, the country has always stayed in the top, re-innovating the artform with every decade and every generation. The medium has a lot to owe to its birth country and the many French filmmakers that helped revolutionize it. Makers like George Melies, Jean Vigo, Alain Resnais, Agnes Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Demy and many, many more, some present in this list.
A country with so many brilliant directors and films of course has a lot of films that go overlooked, even though they're just as brilliant sometimes. This list will look at underseen films both old and new, but all with an unmistakable French feel."
