"It's nice that we have all these different films"
About this Quote
The subtext is a pushback against scarcity thinking. When discourse frames film culture as a zero-sum war - one kind of movie replacing another, one audience stealing oxygen from another - Gainsbourg offers a deceptively simple counter: variety is the health signal. She’s not arguing for a canon; she’s arguing for an ecosystem.
Context matters because Gainsbourg is a product of cross-pollination: French cinema’s art-house tradition, an international profile, a famous cultural lineage, and a reputation for emotional risk-taking. Her credibility isn’t built on brand purity, so her diplomacy reads less like PR and more like lived experience. The sentence also sidesteps gatekeeping. It doesn’t demand that you "get" the right movies. It just insists that the menu should stay big, and that taste can be expansive without being righteous.
