INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO

When #MeToo surfaced in October 2017, it was viewed as a time of change for the US and Hollywood. But in France – another country with a rich cinematic heritage – there was major backlash to allegations made against its own stars. Now though, a new wave of controversy, headlined by prolific actor Gerard Depardieu, has reignited media debate.

Katya is joined by journalists Catherine Guilyardi and Nina Kropotkine to consider whether the #MeToo movement is finally exploding in French cinema.
