Augustin Trapenard's
Boomerang program
, on France Inter.
We want to defend freedom, equality, fraternity, sorority
Adele Haenel
She had not expressed herself in the media since her remarkable exit at the last Caesar ceremony in protest against the victory for best director for the film

Adèle Haenel has not lost any of her commitment in a few months.
Roman Polanski remains a historic member of the Académie des Césars.
“I thought, 'What an old thing',
” she says.
Augustin Trapenard asks her how she interprets “
the categorical refusal of [the] questioning, of [the] deconstruction [of] the real in public debate
"?
She does not hesitate to put the Gérald Darmanin affair on the table: "
I allow myself to quote him, anyway
".
The actress sees in the appointment of Gerald Darmanin to the post of Minister of the Interior, "
an insult to a part of the population which rose in the direction of humanism
".
Sure of her commitment, she lists her values like so many accusations against a government that has abandoned them: "
We are talking, we are there and we want to defend freedom, equality, fraternity, sorority
."

Adèle Haenel wants to put her notoriety at the service of others
Adèle Haenel justifies her multiple positions as a way of using her privileges, “
in the sense of a more fluid society;
(...) in order to help those who do not have the opportunity to testify at the microphone
”.
Obviously, the actress does not see in the government's choices the same desire for "humanism".
She explained, at the beginning of the interview, always wanting to "
conceive of
how, in all dynamics, we are dominant somewhere, and how we must question ourselves.
To refuse to see this is to cling to a morbid power
”.
Should he appoint Gérald Darmanin Minister of the Interior, presumed innocent, or keep a low profile while awaiting the outcome of an undeniably divisive trial?
For Adèle Haenel, in any case, "
raising your voice [is] a question of survival
".
"But what does such a gesture - his protest to the Caesars - really change?"
Trapenard asks Haenel, who replies: “
I have the impression that it gives images to people who lack them.
I think that this warms the hearts of many activists and that it contributes to the dynamics of uprisings
”.
Firmly attached to reality, Adèle Haenel speaks to Assa Traoré and qualifies her as a “heroine”.
When Trapenard asks him, "
What is a hero for you?"
", She continues:" He
is someone who shows himself worthy of courage.
I don't know if hero is the correct term.
But I think of people I like in civil society, like Assa Traoré, whom I find really admirable ”.

What about the hero of fiction?
Is he political?
For the actress, cinema is in any case political in the way it “
divides the world in such and such a way, (...) in the sense that it will propose a framework for reading the world and put in question the spontaneity of this reading grid which will have been sedimented by decades of building an image.
"Either show the world from a certain angle in cinema and denounce it in" real "life.
