Here's a surprisingly balanced analysis of the gilets jaune protest from the Economist, which is usually hard on France's social model. France's "1%" has gotten richer under Macron, yet at the same time, "France stands out among big European economies as the country that does the most to reduce income inequality."

The "gilet jaune" protests in France are not winding down. But while I understand resentment about the fuel tax, I can't sympathize with people protesting speed limits!

With movie awards season starting, it's interesting to see what's going on in France: 40% of cinema entries last year were for US films, but the percentage has dropped from 2017.

France admissions fell 4.3% in 2018 but it remains Europe's top cinema-going territory

French productions generated 77m admissions to take a 40% share of the market

On retient de ce video des journalistes québécois Nadeau-Barlow au sujet des "gilets jaunes" que les Français vont préférer l'expression à la communication, vieille tendance depuis longtemps, et voient tout en noir, sorte de pessimisme jubilatoire. voir l'article pour tout comprendre. Ces deux là, vont droit au but, bullseyes à tout coup.
