At the Cannes Film Festival, the biggest drama isn’t on screen. In this episode of So French, Sara Bertilsson and Stefan de Vries dive into the growing power of billionaire Vincent Bolloré over French media, cinema and politics. Can one media empire shape what Europe watches, thinks and creates?

Plus: fresh trouble for presidential hopeful Édouard Philippe, the endless parade of Macron-era political movements, and why culture may be Europe’s most underestimated form of power.

From Cannes red carpets to Parisian backrooms, this is France at its most So French.
