If “this report is very positive” and that the “CNC is a magnificent institution”also insisted Pierre Moscovici, “we know” that on the “more than 200 films” products, not all have “a sufficient or extraordinary level of quality. It’s a criterion that nevertheless exists.”
“I think we really need to reform support” financial, therefore pleaded the former Minister of the Economy, “which is done consensually with the production. Not to reduce the number of films, but to ensure that these productions are of quality and that they reach the public.”
