It’s a real thunderbolt for the world of cinema. Tuesday May 9, actress Adèle Haenel announced via a letter published in Telerama that she had acted her “Cinema Stop”. Indeed, the 34-year-old actress denounces the “complacency” of the 7th art vis-à-vis sexual aggressors. She also criticizes “the way in which (it) collaborates with capitalism”. The one who had left the room during the coronation of Roman Polanski at the Césars 2020, also aims “the profession’s widespread complacency towards sexual aggressors and (…) the way in which this medium collaborates with the deadly racist ecocide order of the world”. “I’m canceling you from my world. I’m leaving, I’m going on strike”, she says. A letter that caused a lot of reaction.

I find that there is a form of aplomb, of courage, which defines her a lot

Currently on stage at La Scala for CountrysideIsabelle Carré was questioned about the departure of Adèle Haenel from the cinema. “It touches me deeply”, she began by declaring. “I find that there is a form of confidence, of courage, which defines her a lot”said the actress, who then referred to a very famous character played by Adèle Haenel. “I thought about his role as fighters. She becomes a fighter. I find his journey very singular. she added on France 2.

Isabelle Carré also makes an update. “That doesn’t mean she won’t play anymore. She is going to work with a woman who does dance and theatre. She has had a very unique and exciting journey. So she has an artistic career… She takes the back alley”, she concluded. A way to support Adèle Haenel who had very harsh words for all the major players in the 7th French Art. “Filling the media space with wind has a purpose, that of making the bourgeois order as natural as the blue of the sky and of making inaudible, marginal, the voices of those who organize the resistance (…). Continue to render desirable, this system is criminal”, she also wrote in her letter.
