This all stems from her belief that the “toxic” French film industry is impossible to change. She’s gone full-Godard, except without the moviemaking. The main example she cites is a rather interesting, it is in her experience reading the script for Bruno Dumont’s “L’Empire”: “I don’t make films anymore,” She says. When asked why, she added, “Because of political reasons. Because the film industry is absolutely reactionary, racist, and patriarchal. Jesus. Haenel hasn’t made a movie since 2019’s “Portrait of a Lady on Fire.” I’m also quite certain that Dumont does not appreciate one bit the shade being thrown at him here. If you remember, back in 2020, Haenel walked out of the César Film Awards in protest of Roman Polanski’s Best Director win for “An Officer and a Spy.” Contribute Hire me
