Abstract
The french film industry and the oligopoly of rentiers This is an enquiry into the existence of a rather singular type of oligopoly in the French film industry. The units concerned are three in number, each of large size ; two are private and the third public (whose continued existence, it is true, is not certain). The two private units are based on an international financial structure and they are also linked together financially. Each of the three units forming the oligopoly is built up along vertical integration lines (projection, distribution, production). The two private units also possess equipment goods. The oligopoly is hardly expansionist in character. It profits from a given situation in order to continue in existence. It intervenes relatively little in actual production. It is in no way concerned with the culture aspect of the consumption of its products but only with customers ; one could even say with inevitable customers. It is a rentiers' oligopoly.
