As a french my perspective of french cinema is "There are a lot of french movies" :')
I know why there are so much, since we are the country where the cinema was born in we placed a lot of energy to be able to continue making movies here.
When Hollywood started his movies, it took so much place than most of countries in the world has been forced to stop making films.
In France we have a lot of financial support to continue cinema, and some rules to constrain platforms like Netflix to force them to invest some money in French cinema if they want to have more liberties !
