[THREAD] The Cannes Film Festival has decided to ignore all the alerts and shortcomings characterized by taking Catherine Corsini's film #leretour in competition. An ongoing procedure with the Public Prosecutor is therefore not enough.
Mind-blowing to see how disconnected the biggest film festival in the world is from what is happening today and to see how much the whole issue of limits, especially in the case of scenes of a sexual nature, is ignored by French cinema.
The Académie des César has been able to evolve but the Cannes festival remains apart, isolated, ignorant of the evolutions of French society, still reasoning at the time the artist could afford anything, in defiance of the rules that apply to the common mortals.
It is today in full knowledge of the facts, after all the articles that have appeared and the recognized facts, that Thierry Frémaux chooses to take a problematic film in competition, spitting in the face of all those who might have the courage to denounce reprehensible facts,
and finally considering that it's not that bad. It's a challenging decision. How can the public authorities, the Ministry of Culture, the government, the Council of State, the Court of Auditors, the CNC, the town hall of Cannes, accept such a thing?
Curious to see also how the Americans will react to this choice, those who will find themselves side by side with this film and who will be questioned about it. As far as I'm concerned, my choice is made: #BoycottCannes
