The one who notably made accusations against filmmakers such as Benoît Jacquot or Jacques Doillon left his mark with his punchy speech during the last Cesar ceremonydeclaring in particular: “Why accept that this art that binds us is used as a cover for illicit trafficking in young girls? “.

Judith Godrèche: “What do we do when we are overwhelmed by what we hear? »
Me Too was produced a few weeks after Judith Godrèche’s speech at the César Awards. “Exactly one month after this salutary speech, on March 23, 2024, Judith Godrèche seized the two means of expression that she knows best – writing and cinema – and brought together women and men who testified about their traumatic experience,” explains the Cannes Film Festival. Dany Boon’s ex-wife then launched a call for testimonies on Instagram.
Quoted in a press release from the Cannes Film Festival, the actress explained her approach : “Then the question arose what I was going to do with it. What do we do when we are overwhelmed by what we hear, by the quality of the testimonies? “. For sure, Me Too will be one of the major events on the Croisette.
