We now know that even in the “big family” of cinema, toxic masculinity is rife with force and violence. Fortunately, it is also an environment where the sorority sometimes knows how to express itself with a certain effectiveness. Demonstration in this evocative and poignant testimony by Sandrine Kiberlain.
During an interview given to the show Beau Geste (presented by Pierre Lescure on Sunday on France 2), actress Sandrine Kiberlain returned to a significant episode that she experienced at the start of her career in the company of Fanny Ardant.
This scene took place during a rehearsal:
“I was a young actress, and the actor who played my father in the story (I don't even remember his name, I think I wanted to forget it) had to slap me during rehearsals. But obviously the actors pretend to slap themselves! You're not going to slap a young actress 15 times or 15 times anyone. »
« And Fanny arrived on the set, she was fed up. I didn't dare say, 'stop slapping me'. And she came and she told him, 'stop slapping her or I'll slap you, next time I'll slap you.' And so the guy looked at us and then he slapped me again. She came, she slapped him. »
“You don’t forget that, you see. I was protected by her! She is a great example of a whole woman. »
A few years later, the fight continues…
