“There are a lot of men I’ve had to push away and put back in place. Men to whom it was necessary to explain, and sometimes violently, that I was not an object that could be used to satisfy deviant fantasies“admits Guillaume Canet’s wife.”Regarding my artistic choices, I was lucky to be offered roles of great complicity knowing that there is always a weakness in someone strong and a strength that lies dormant in someone of weak” she then analyzes.
“We had to fight” Mother of Louise (soon to be 7 years old), Marion Cotillard is now leading a fight to make things happen. “There was an abundance of creativity at a time when women had an ambiguous place in the eyes of men. This subordination taints this period. Fortunately, women went to fight for this freedom. Today, even if there is still a long way to go, we are considered in another way“.
And to conclude: “But we had to fight. Regarding the way in which women’s bodies have been used as if they were their due, the fight continues. However, the MeToo revolution has allowed us to speak and be listened to“.
