Changing with the times? Cannes Film Festival in Johnny Depp controversy
Edité par France 24
We ask about the festival feting Depp, who in his return plays France's King Louis XV, and how much has changed in the five years since the #MeToo reckoning.
In 2018, actresses posed on the red carpet against the film industry's predators. This year's competition features a record seven women directors. But that's not enough to wish away male and female aggressors, argues a group of 123 actresses who have penned an open letter to the festival.
We ask about old habits and a new entertainment landscape. The movie/streaming industry tells the stories of our times. How inclusive should they be? What kind of films should we be bankrolling and celebrating?
Produced by Yann Pusztai, Daphné Leprince-Ringuet and Guillaume Gougeon.
- Note
This time, it’s an out-of-competition opening night film that's lighting the spark. Is the Cannes Film Festival in tune with the times when it rolls out the red carpet for Johnny Depp – megastar of the silver screen, and a polarising figure for those who followed his acquittal in the ugly bare-all trial that pitted the actor against ex-wife Amber Heard?
