France is a great cultural melting pot, and the people there have a keen appreciation for many different cultures, especially those of the East, as evidenced in recent years by the fact that Taiwanese directors Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, and Tsai Ming-liang have all won numerous cinema awards in Europe.
法國是個文化大融爐，很能夠欣賞多元文化，特別是東方文化，這可從近年來台灣導演候孝賢、楊德昌、蔡明亮頻頻得到法國多項電影獎印證。
