Win’s criticism of the suppression of protesters

Charso Press: According to the Guardian, the winner of the Palme d’Or for the best film of this year’s Cannes festival, in his speech after receiving the award, attacked the cultural policies of the French government.

“The commercialization of culture that this neoliberal government supports is breaking down France’s cultural exception, and without that cultural heritage, I wouldn’t be here now,” said Trier, who took home Cannes’ top prize for courtroom drama “Anatomy of a Fall.” ».

While criticizing French President Emmanuel Macron, who last month signed the controversial bill to increase the retirement age in France from 62 to 64 years despite widespread protests, he said: “His country has suffered from historic protests over the reform of the pension system, but These protests have always been ignored and shockingly suppressed.

These sharp statements were followed by the quick reaction of Rima Abdelmalek, the Minister of Culture of France, who said that she was happy to award the award to a French director, but was surprised by Terrier’s speech and wrote on her Twitter page: “Let’s not forget that “This film could not have been made without the financial support of France, which has a unique diversity in the world.”

“Anatomy of a Fall” starring Sandra Hüller, who won the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, is the second film from the French director to be selected in the competitive section of Cannes after the black comedy “Sibel”.

In this film, Sandra Holler plays the role of a writer who is forced to defend herself as the main suspect in her husband’s murder.
