The Depardieu Affair: Scandal, Controversy, and Reflections on French Cinema

The Depardieu affair is still causing a lot of ink to flow. As a reminder, the actor is indicted for rape following a complaint from actress Charlotte Arnould. But since the broadcast of a “Additional investigation” where we see the sacred monster of French cinema making misogynistic remarks towards women, the actor is at the heart of a scandal which never ends.

Anny Duperey, actress, spoke to our colleagues at Ciné-Télé-Revue regarding the behavior of Gérard Depardieu and she doesn’t hold back. “Depardieu is completely crazy. Now, it’s not worth talking regarding it for hours… When I performed a play by Bertrand Blier, I reacted to Depardieu’s comments, I don’t remember which ones, by saying: ‘Depardieu should shut your big mouth!’ He was still deified at the time. What did I dare to say! I had attacked our god of cinema. ‘But why do you hate him?’ Blier, who knows him well, declared: ‘Anny says what we all think, including his best friends.’

“No longer showing Depardieu’s films is a contempt for the public’s critical sense, and a censorship of collective works necessary for culture”

The actress notably explained to Télé 7 Jours at the beginning of January that thirteen years ago she had asked the actor to “shut up” following being exasperated by his excesses of all kinds. “At a time when he was sacred and not yet cursed, I got a slap on the wrist for daring to publicly tell him to ‘shut the fuck up’. Gérard is out of the loop mentally, he’s been losing his mind for a while now. This is not a reason to ban all his films,” she explained.
