‘Dossier 137’ Director On Cannes Ban Of His Film’s Actor Accused Of Sexual Assault: “I Understand Their Decision”


When it came to the last minute red carpet ban yesterday of Dossier 137 actor Théo Navarro-Mussy by the Cannes film festival, director Dominik Moll has no qualms.

Navarro-Mussy was accused of sexual assault by three women with the complaint dismissed by courts in April, however, Cannes Film Festival Delegate General Thierry Fremaux barred the actor from appearing at the pic’s premiere in what seems to be a cue set by the French César Academy. That org states that cinema professionals under investigation for any violent acts are not welcome at the ceremony and can’t receive any type of award, publicly or behind closed doors, until the case is ruled on. Dossier 137 stars Léa Drucker as a police officer working for Internal Affairs who is assigned to a case involving a young man severely wounded during a tense and chaotic demonstration in Paris.
