The long love-hate relationship between the United States and France is a curious one that derives from misconceptions, dissimilar economic imperatives, and genuinely different cultural patterns. Didn t You Used to Be Depardieu? identifies and analyzes these differences through the contrast of American film remakes and the French originals."
