Movie Questions:

A reader asks:

1. Why does France have a lot of first-rate femme directors, who make clever, insightful, professional films about la condition humaine [e.g., the new comedy "Look at Me," which I review in the new April 25th edition of The American Conservative, while the liberated US doesn't? (Insult to injury: their films are clumsily adapted in Hollywood, usually by oafish male directors, who pervert the original ideas--see three men and a baby".)

2. Why did sexist old post-war Italy produce a group of total woman, magnificent, steamy, strong actresses (magnani, loren, lolobrigida, cardinale, others) who didn't scare men, but the liberated US doesn't?

3. Why does extremely sexist China produce goddesses like Gong Li but the liberated US produces Julia Roberts?
