Elisabeth Borne estimated on Sunday that Justine Triet, director of the film Anatomy of a fall should “think about your relationship to reality“, while the Palme d’Or winner harshly criticized the government in May.
During the awards ceremony in Cannes, Justine Triet criticized the “commodification of culture that the neoliberal government defends“, who according to her is in the process”to break the French cultural exception, this same cultural exception without which (it) would not be here today“. The filmmaker also mentioned “an extremely powerful and unanimous historic protest“in France against the pension reform that the executive had”shockingly denied“.
“I’ll go see this film, obviously, which looks excellent“, replied Ms. Borne, questioned on BFMTV. On September 28, the head of the executive nevertheless assumed in The world always be “upset“and refuse to go see this feature film – “I’m blocking“.
“I was told (that) it’s a film about the relationship with reality”, declared the Prime Minister on Sunday on BFMTV. “Perhaps the director needs to think about her relationship with reality when she finds that creation is not sufficiently supported.“, she added, judging “quite shocking“Justine Triet’s speech”in a country where there is so much support for creation“.”I think that many actors in the cultural sector remember the massive support that we were able to provide during the Covid crisis“, added the head of government.
Anatomy of a fallwhich intends to dissect the balance of power within a couple of artists, exceeded one million admissions in theaters in September, a month after its release.
