This Thursday, May 2, deputies voted unanimously for the creation of a commission of inquiry into “abuse and violence” in cinema. Present in the Assembly, Judith Godrèche was very moved.
It is a moment that will remain historic. This Thursday, May 2, Judith Godrèche was in the stands of the national assembly. The actress was very moved to see that the deputies approved “the creation of a commission of inquiry on abuse and violence in cinema, audiovisual, performing arts, fashion and advertising”. A victory for the woman who denounced a few months ago the attacks of which she was allegedly the victim as a teenager at the hands of directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon.
After deliberating, the deputies decided to vote for the proposed resolution initiated by the ecologist Francesca Pasquini. “This commission must be carried out successfully. It was extremely moving to hear these words in a place where laws are made, while there is an absence of law on filming“, explained the 52-year-old actress to AFP after the deliberations.

The poignant speech of Judith Godrèche
During her speech at the César in February 2024, Judith Godrèche gave a poignant speech at the Olympia. “For some time now, I have been talking, I have been talking, but I can’t hear you. Or barely. Where are you ? (…) Why accept that this art that we love so much, this art that binds us, is used as a cover for illicit trafficking in young girls?” she notably asked the public, present in the room.
A touching speech for someone who is supported in the world of cinema, even if Judith Godrèche would have liked to receive more messages: “Those who sent me messages can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
