Do the seventh art and politics go hand in hand? Not sure, according to the actress twice caesarized Sabine Azéma and the actor-rocker Eddy Mitchell, brought together by Bruno Podalydès in his comedy Wahou! (June 7 on screens). In a cross-interview with the JDD, they comment on the committed speech of Justine Tiret, Palme d'Or 2023 for her film Anatomy of a fall. And the least we can say is that the words of the young director did not have the chance to please them.
Eddy Mitchell, who is known to be outspoken, was the most virulent: "This girl is thinking about her retirement, she does not interest me. I won't go see his film. What I liked about Cannes were the presence of Harrison Ford, Martin Scorsese."

The actress with two César Awards (Un dimanche à la campagne in 1985 and Mélo in 1987), with a joyful character, was less vindictive. However, she does not fail to castigate the too polemical spirit of Justine Tiret: "I am an actress, not a producer or director. So, sorry if I prefer to keep my innocence... We are tired of polemics. I haven't seen his films. I'm not sure his statement makes us want to discover them."

By attacking the government and its management of the pension reform, Justine Tiret may have "scuttled live the joy that hundreds of thousands of spectators had to discover her film" as Le Figaro wrote. The reactions of Sabine Azéma and Eddy Mitchell seem to confirm this.
