Mathieu Kassovitz

A darling of French cinema, Mathieu Kassovitz now says "I'm out of this country" - and it's nothing to do with taxes. Has he tired of France or have the French tired of him?

Frustrated with an industry that was indifferent to his latest movie, or with the politicians who furnish some of his least appealing characters?

Has the actor-director tired of France, or have the French tired of him?
