It is necessary to know proof of second degree when one is the subject of the chronicle of Sébastien Thoen. Monday to Friday on RTL, a comedian offers a mood post and above all, an offbeat look at current events. Bertrand Chameroy, Sandrine Sarroche, Mathieu Madénian or even Sébastien Thoen excel in this area and it is precisely the former member of the “Big Diary” on Canal + who was entitled to his humorous pellet this Thursday, June 8. His target? The 2023 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his film “Anatomy of a Fall” : Justine Triet.
As usual, Cyril Hanouna’s “rival” showed humor and above all a lot of second degree to evoke the winner of the last edition of the Cannes Film Festival. A winner who sparked controversy following her speech.

The discourse of discord
“This evening, you are giving me the floor, and I cannot content myself with evoking the joy I feel. This year, the country has been crossed by a historic protest, extremely powerfulunanimous, of the pension reform”she said to the public at the Palais des Festivals on Saturday May 28, after receiving her award, before continuing: “This dispute was shockingly denied and repressed. This pattern of increasingly uninhibited dominating power breaks out in several areas. Obviously, socially, that’s where it’s most shocking, but you can also see it in all other spheres of society, and cinema is no exception.”.
In his column, Sébastien Thoen refers to Triet’s controversial speech at the award ceremony, where she addressed political and social topics, which drew mixed reactions within the film industry. The comedian claimed a fake evening spent with Justine Triet for his mood ticket.
Sébastien Thoen attacks Justine Triet with his legendary humor
“I was with Justine Triet! The rebel! Yes, I was with the filmmaker Justine Triet, the rebel of the 7th art that 15 days ago, at the Cannes Film Festival between three glasses of Ruinart champagne, 12 La Duration macaroons, a Chanel dress, a G7 private driver, 100g of cocaine and three kilos of cosmetics offered, sparked a controversy that is still going on!recalled the comedian, pretending to take a stand for the speech of the filmmaker: “Justine’s crime according to the “leftist” media is obviously a marvelous nuanced and not demagogue speech for a penny against the horrible system and the abject government policies”.
Sébastien Thoen nevertheless added a touch of truth to his text and recalled that, since his speech, “Justine Triet takes the full face”. So he imagined himself displaying his “unwavering support” during a meeting at “Courtepaille of Mantes-la-Jolie”. “I say to him” well done Justine, you have finally castigated this socialist dictatorship which has been rotting our lives for 2000 years now. This disgusting system that does so much harm to people in the cinema and to all owners of second homes in Cap-Ferret”he quipped.
Justine Triet, “visionary” of what awaits us?
In conclusion, the comedian of who should not return to Canal + gave her interpretation of Justine Triet’s speech: “it’s that if no one has the courage, like her, to get up on the pontoon of her yacht or the Martinez hotel, in five years French cinema will be nothing but merchandise, marketing, shame…” A situation that “Hangs on us if we don’t say anything!”. In fact, after having joked about the filmmaker’s speech for a long time, Sébastien Thoen wanted to say “thanks to Justine”… always in a humorous tone.
