“It’s no longer possible”, in tears, she talks about the #Metoo movement

On Thursday, April 25, 2024, the New York City Court of Appeal overturned Harvey Weinstein’s conviction for rape and sexual assault. The accusations against the former Hollywood star producer were directly linked to the origin of the movement #Metoo. A movement which quickly crossed borders and which allowed many women and actresses to denounce the rapes and sexual assaults suffered during their careers.

Then, on Tuesday April 30, 2024, the magazine SHE published a column by Michel Broué, a mathematician and companion of Anouk Grinberg, in which he supports the #Metoo movement. A platform which was signed by 100 men from the world of the 7th art. What deeply touched Juliette Binoche, herself a victim of sexual violence.

Juliette Binoche in tears facing Léa Salamé while talking about the #Metoo movement

This Wednesday, May 1, Juliette Binoche was Léa Salamé’s guest on France Inter. Moved to tears, the 60-year-old actress reacted to this column by Michel Broué. “Finally !”, exclaims Juliette Binoche before adding: “It’s no longer possible to only have women speaking.” Very moved, the actress continues: “If it’s not recognized, it doesn’t exist. We know that with children.”

Then, Léa Salamé asks Juliette Binoche if she is now waiting for men, directors and actors to finally speak. And the actress responds with emotion: “But yes, but all women expect that. It’s like when Iranian women cut their hair. There is not a man who has cut his hair. I don’t understand that.” “So this platform of men finally speaking reassures you a little? “, asks Léa Salamé. And Juliette Binoche answers: “It’s a necessity, otherwise there is no change.”

Juliette Binoche talks about her relationship with nudity during filming

During this interview with Léa Salamé, Juliette Binoche also addressed the subject of nudity in her career. In fact, the actress denounces “obsession with nudity” which she witnessed from the start of her career. The actress says that after the 70s, “there was a demand for nudity in films”. “Practically in every script, there was a nude scene, because it was salesy,” explains the actress. Nudity scenes are always easy to shoot. Juliette Binoche illustrates her point by recounting the shooting of the film Appointment, by André Téchiné, released in 1985

When her mother discovered the film, she was “surprised” to discover his daughter completely naked. She then asks him how she was able to shoot this scene. “I thought she admired me, but she was horrified,” explains the actress. Juliette Binoche indicates “understand nudity, because there is a side where you have to be true”, but points out that it all depends on how “it’s shot, filmed”.
