Women filmmakers have occupied an impressive position in the field of French cinema since the 1990s. Whether it is a question of training and access to filmmaking, of the choice of narrative genres, of recognition and rewards, or the frequency of films, the beginning of the new millennium seems to have heralded significant changes and developments. The level of box‐office success achieved by films made by women has also altered: whereas previously only a handful of feature films exceeded 1,000,000 entries, this situation has multiplied in the twenty‐first century. A second major shift is that the “millionnaires” of the 2000s are all comedies, in contrast to the varied styles and genres found in preceding decades. Although reflecting a general movement that has been taking place in French cinema, these trends are highly instructive in so far as women are involved. This chapter analyzes the changes and forms that these variations take, in order to compare this period with the preceding ones, and to demonstrate the characteristics of the kind of cinema made by female directors during a span of 20 years.
