PARIS - Actor Noemie Merlant has absolutely no regrets about walking out of the French Oscars after Roman Polanski won best director to cap what was perhaps the most bitter and fractious awards ceremony in French cinema history.
Haenel - a key figure in the French #MeToo movement, who last year revealed that she had been sexually harassed by a director as a teenager - had declared that "distinguishing Polanski is spitting in the face of all victims". "Maybe five or 10 years ago, I wouldn't have done it," the actress admitted. But after working with "lots of female directors I began to ask myself some quite perturbing questions about women's lives, about what they wanted to say, and their choices.""I feel deep down that it opened up some things, both in the profession" and beyond it, even "among families and friends".
