Actress 'proud' she walked out of French Oscars over Polanski
after Roman Polanski won best director to cap what was perhaps the most bitter and fractious awards ceremony in French cinema history.
Merlant followed her"Portrait of a Lady on Fire" co-star Adele Haenel nd the acclaimed movie's director Celine Sciamma, to the exit after Polanski won best film for"An Officer and a Spy". Haenel cried"Shame!" as they left, furious that the Cesars academy had honoured a man still wanted in the US for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977, and who has since had to deny several claims of sexual assault.
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". "I am proud that I left with my comrades," Merlant said of the dramatic night four months ago, which caused an earthquake in the French industry."The world is changing, and going forward," the"Now we are standing up and we are walking out when things have to change. It's something I think that has to happen," said Merlant, who made her breakthrough playing a woman radicalised by the Islamic State in the 2016 film,"Le Ciel Attendra" .admitted.
