Christine Angot's film 'Une famille' premiered at the Berlinale on Monday. The film is a documentary in which the French writer confronts family members who did not support her in the face of her father's sexual abuse.
In 1999, she published a novel titled Incest, which made her a literary star in her country. She was also accused of fabricating or exaggerating facts, of washing dirty clothes in public, of expressing herself with excessive violence. She always refused to see herself as a victim, a word that disgusts her, to avoid the pity of others.
