Léa Seydoux On #MeToo Movement In France: “It’s A Wonderful Thing That Women Are Speaking Out”
In Quentin Dupieux’s new satirical comedy The Second Act, which kicked off Cannes last night, the pic takes poke at myriad culture wars, including France’s latest #MeToo movement. Asked front and center about her take on the latest wave, the pic’s star Léa Seydoux said, “It’s a wonderful thing that women are speaking out. It’s about high time they did.”
“This change has been taking place. The film also plays with this idea. It also talks about very current events, and this movement where women are now speaking out and that was a fundamental importance of that change to take place,” said the 007 actress.
Dupieux‘s latest follows three actors shooting a banal rom com played by Seydoux, Vincent Lindon and Louis Garrel. Dupieux’s latest is a meta movie-within-a-movie-within a movie, in which the filmmaker also pokes at actors’ egos, AI as a cost-cutting tool, as well as other issues impacting the industry.
