"I'm out of this country." Why is the darling of French cinema leaving France?

0:00

23:18

Mathieu Kassovitz has been a darling of French cinema for 30
years. Now he says, "I'm out of this country" - and it's nothing
to do with taxes. Is he frustrated with an industry that was
indifferent to his latest movie? Or with the politicians who
furnish some of his least-appealing characters? His newest
offering, a tale of post-colonial bloodshed on a Pacific island
inspired by real events, which he thinks should shame France,
attracted an audience there of just 150,000 people. Has the
actor-director tired of France, or have the French tired of him?
Presented by Shaun Ley.
