CINEMA – The tension is still high. Flo, the biopic retracing the story of the legendary navigator Florence Arthaud, continues to arouse controversy 48 hours before its theatrical release. Indeed, Hubert Arthaud, the brother of the one nicknamed “ the little bride of the Atlantic » is very unhappy with the film which, in his eyes, does not reflect the life of his sister. In an interview with the magazine Closeron Friday October 27, the latter declared that Flo was ” defamatory from the first scene. »
Accusations to which Géraldine Danon, the director of the biopic responded via her Instagram account. “Flo comes out in theaters on November 1st, I am proud to have brought to the screen the incredible destiny of the woman who was my close friend since the 80s, my life partner, my son’s godmother…” A subtle response to Hubert Arthaud, who affirmed at Closer that Florence Arthaud “ was never friends with Géraldine Danon! She’s one of those groupies.”.

For Géraldine Danon, “Flo” is a beautiful tribute to Florence Arthaud
On Instagram, Géraldine Danon says she is proud to have achieved Flobecause the film highlights the strength of character of a woman evolving in an environment of men. “It was also my objective with this film, to transmit her message of a liberated feminist, and an extreme fighter, to new generations. I spent 13 years at sea before daring to show her in all her forms in this film. »
Still in response to the words of Florence Arthaud’s brother, who felt that Géraldine Danon’s film did not do justice to the life of his sister, the director of Flo said she had paid the most beautiful tribute to her friend who died in 2015 in a plane crash. “Florence wanted a biopic about her life, it’s there. This film is a ‘ode to woman‘to quote one of the comments that people made to me, an ode to Flo, lover of life, of men, of the sea, a great champion, my sister in life,’ she concludes with emotion.
As a reminder, the conflict between Géraldine Danon and Florence Arthaud’s family has been going on for months. Marie Arthaud-Lingois, the daughter of the navigator, had notably requested a copy of the script fearing that the biopic would send ” a bad image “ from his mother. A request that the Paris judicial court rejected on April 18.
