Expression. The NousToutes Rhône collective is coming together this Saturday to oppose the arrival of Gérard Depardieu on the occasion of his show “Depardieu sings Barbara”. The feminist collective invites people to take out their “most beautiful signs” and “its best slogans” in front of the Bourse du Travail, where the actor is due to perform at 6:30 p.m. “He has long been known to act with violence on the women present during his shoots, in a deafening silence. There are many testimonials, videos, evidence. He has the audacity to take up the repertoire of the singer Barbara, who for many victims of violence embodies the word on incest. His closeness to Barbara during his lifetime cannot justify such an appropriation of his repertoire. It is an insult to the victims, ”judges the collective.

Festival. It’s time for the closing ceremony of the 76th Cannes Film Festival, where the 2023 Palme d’Or will be awarded. Aki Kaurismäki acts as a favorite with his film Dead leaves. Anatomy of a fall of the Frenchwoman Justine Triet is also well placed. A total of 21 feature films are in the running. Seven are made by women, including the youngest of the competition, Ramata-Toulaye Sy, 36 years old.

Soccer. It’s Multiplex evening in Ligue 1. And the 37th – and penultimate – day of Ligue 1 promises its share of tensions. At the top of the standings, if Lens wins against Ajaccio, the Sang-et-Or will be guaranteed to finish runner-up to PSG. Paris has no room for error: in the event of a double defeat (unlikely) and a double victory for the Northerners, they could be champions. OM must also win their next two games to try to steal second place on the home stretch.
At the bottom of the standings, Nantes must win at Lille to hope to get out of the red zone. Its direct rival, Auxerre, is moving to Toulouse. The last place of relegation should probably be played between these two clubs.
