Today, the landscape of cinema faces challenges from agendas promoting division and degeneracy. Unfortunately, filmmakers often succumb to the pressure and adhere to politically correct standards and check boxes. However, amid this dire backdrop, there are glimmers of hope as audiences gravitate toward more traditional films again.

With a deep appreciation for French culture, language, cuisine, and history, I’ve long held a special fondness for French cinema. I find solace and hope in the French prowess for storytelling, so I here recommend one of my top picks for 2023.
