Judith Godrèche to address French cinema’s ‘omertà’ around #MeToo
Actor, who has accused two directors of raping her as a teenager, aims to break ‘omertà’ surrounding abuse in film industry
Godrèche, whose autobiographical hit TV show about the grooming of a 14-year-old girl has sparked a national debate, will take to the stage at the César awards, the French equivalent of the Oscars, which is broadcast live on television. Godrèche, 51, has accused the directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon, the former partner of the late singer and actor Jane Birkin, of rape and sexual assault when she was a teenager. The success of Godrèche’s television series, Icon of French Cinema, has resuscitated France’s #MeToo movement and once again highlighted accounts of sexual abuse of teenage girls by older men in the arts.
