Whichever way you approach things, it is clear that the 45th ceremony of the Caesars will be the dividing line between a before and an after. It is based on two words, like two punches. The first is that of "shame", repeated twice by Adèle Haenel leaving the Salle Pleyel on the announcement of the trophy for the best achievement given to Roman Polanski. The actress will still exclaim in the reception hall “Long live pedophilia! Well done pedophilia! ". The second is this “disgusted” formulated on her Instagram account by Florence Foresti, mistress of ceremonies and who did not fear, throughout her interventions, to shoot live ammunition on the Franco-Polish director caught by new accusations rape.
These demonstrations of shameless annoyance will mark this evening as two seals and, yesterday morning, that of Sara Forestier, in a tweet: “We cannot pretend that he (Editor's note: Roman Polanski) , was a lambda citizen [… ]. Some have chosen to stifle a reality as if the situation were normal. I should have left the room. We should have left the room. "

This outspokenness has dug a breach in a bastion hitherto very convenient until now to offer a retreat - it was also the case in literature - and which consisted in commenting on the separation of "man and the work ”. Since Friday evening, the valves, no longer of humor but of speech, have not finished being released. Yes, nothing will be as before, especially since across the Atlantic, where the Oscars are in an identical turmoil, the message has undoubtedly been well received. Hollywood star Jessica Chastain hailed Adèle Haenel's reaction.
Cauldron of appearances and knives on the back
But it is just as obvious that the "big family of cinema", a cauldron of appearances and knives behind them, will gain no appeasement and even less reconciliation. This emotion served alive, placing the reality of crime at the center of the game, presents all the risks of crystallizing the moods of two clans reluctant to make a gift. "The enemy is not the other," said Ladj Ly, director of "Les Misérables", let’s drop the guns and unite. " Will this be valid for the world of cinema? We seriously doubt it.
