This Tuesday, September 6, Cyril Hanouna wanted to give a big rant on the Touche set not at my post. In his viewfinder, the director Lola Quivoron, whom he did not hesitate to describe as ‘idiot’.
An incisive message. This Tuesday, September 6, Cyril Hanouna presented a new number of Do not touch My TV. But the host of C8 also took the opportunity to push a big rant. In return for the pub, he indeed wished to address the viewers to send them a message about a film which is about to be released in dark rooms. “I would like to tell you, above all, don’t go see the film Rodeo”dropped the host before adding: “disaster this film, and the director said ‘accidents are often caused by cops chasing and pushing riders to death’. To say such bullshit…”
In the viewfinder of Cyril Hanouna, the young director Lola Quivoron which he did not hesitate to qualify as “asshole“.”Don’t go see this movie, I’m asking you as a favor. Don’t go see this shit. It comes out tomorrow”insisted the presenter.
Who is Lola Quivoron, the director in Cyril Hanouna’s sights?
This Wednesday, September 7, the film is indeed released Rodeo, directed by Lola Quivoron. This feature film tells the story of Julie, a young woman who one day meets a gang of bikers who are fans of cross-bitumen, a practice often assimilated to urban rodeos, a term designating illegal figures and behavior on two wheels.
But last May, the 33-year-old filmmaker sparked a lively controversy after an interview with Konbini, on the sidelines of the Cannes festival, where the film was selected in the Un certain regard category. She had in fact pointed the finger at the responsibility of law enforcement in accidents related to urban rodeos. Quickly, local elected officials, but also police unions were indignant at his remarks.
A controversy on which Lola Quivoron had returned in the columns of Parisian on July 25th. “My words have been caricatured, overinterpreted, extrapolated over articles and TV sets by journalists, who themselves had not seen my film”she said after explaining that she was not used to the media exposure.
