“I’m talking, I’m talking, but I can’t hear you. Or barely. Where are you ? » These were the words of Judith Godrèche during the César ceremony on Friday 23 February. While the actress has multiplied the means to free speech – filing charges against Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon, inviting the victims to testify, giving this speech which is a milestone in the history of French cinema and finally speaking in the Senate, around her the silence remains deafening, especially between Players.
Justice and police questioned by Vincent Lindon
A week after the ceremony, male voices were heard on an issue that directly concerns them: the unpunished reign of sexist and sexual violence in the world “incestuous family of cinema”, to use the words of Judith Godrèche in the Senate on 29 February. In an interview for Western France published on February 28, the actor stated: “I will always be on the side of the victims”adding it “ the status of artist will never be a totem of immunity”.
Calling for a collective awakening of actors, he stated regarding sexual and gender-based violence:
“This plague must no longer be the only concern of women, we men must resolutely invite ourselves to the fight, without failing in such a long journey. We need to help them do it build their sovereignty AND achieve perfect equality and never question it again. »
The 64-year-old actor placed his remarks in the French social and political context, saying no change would be possible without clear investments from the state and its institutions. Vincent Lindon thus denounced “a justice that pronounces itself too slowly to condemn or exonerate” AND “a police force that does not take complaints seriously enough”.
As the magazine reminds us SHE, Vincent Lindon did not speak out when Judith Godrèche filed a complaint against Jacques Doillon and Benoît Jacquot. The actor toured with Doillon in 2017 at Rodinhe then starred in five Jacquot films, released between 1997 and 2019.
