We gotta all hold hands dog. They didn't know about Scorsese. pls squash n' hug
My post wasnt haulting any discussion whatsoever. You were the only one who even acknowledged it. Please continue policing the discussion as you see fit however. I think I need a break from this forum for a while.
The scary part is that this casting director may not be entirely wrong given how fucked up certain people in Hollywood and the larger film community continue to go to bat for Polanski.
Hopefully the tide is turning somewhat though, and I know there are plenty of directors who would be happy to work with her. Hopefully the producers and production companies know better than to blacklist her, or that if they do they face public excoriation for doing so.

This shit is fucking infuriating. Feels like the French cinema scene is even worse than Hollywood about protecting rapists.
If it hasn't this news needs to go wide here in the US. She'll have a long successful career in Hollywood.
Most people have turned on Polanski now, about time too the dude is scum.

Chinatown put me to sleep and the twist is predictable. The Pianist is a masterpiece though and he deserves all the accolades for that movie as a Director. But having a career spanning for more 50 years and only making 2 masterpiece compared to the other Director is a bit underwhelming to called him the best of the medium.

The subject of this thread is about the disgusting ways in which a casting director aired his sexist feelings about Adèle Haenel, attempting to destroy her career over the way she handled the César ceremony. This is absolutely NOT the place to ponder whether or not Polanski has any shred of talent, and further posts that continue to veer into that territory will be actioned accordingly.
The complicity with which the industry protects (and outright celebrates) predators is so monumentally grotesque and pervasive.
One wouldn't dare having standards of human decency at risk of getting ahead or advancing your career! Just kiss the ring of the child rapist to get an in for your next job.
Polanski, this misogynist fuckwit, and everyone else going to bat for this shitbag can fucking rot. Fuck their legacy.

Just curious from a social perspective, had Polanski shown up to court and done a year in US prison in 1977, would we be more accepting of him as a director continuing to work, or would we still be going back and forth on this in 2020 with the same heated discussions?
Bless this Woman, she is immensely talented, everyone adores Portrait I'm sure she will be fine.
A Pedophile Writer Is on Trial. So Are the French Elites. (Published 2020)
For decades, Gabriel Matzneff wrote openly of his pedophilia, protected by powerful people in publishing, journalism, politics and business. Now cast out, he attacks their “cowardice” in a rare interview.
Rational self-interest also seems like a good reason: rapists, pedophiles and sexual harrassers defending their own

Thanks. I tried a few different searches and was coming up empty.
Adèle Haenel is a fantastic actress that needs to find all the work possible,
her part in the portrait of a girl on fire was glorious.
hopefully this signal the continuation of her career and the end of that casting asshole.
We still need to do what we can to stop carbone's emissions regardless we are talking about the element or its now infamous homonyme.
