We cannot take risks with the safety of our staff and audience,\u201d said Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bonnaud, the director of the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que, a film archive and cinema funded partly by the state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cViolent individuals were beginning to make threats and holding this screening and debate poised an entirely disproportionate risk. So, we had to let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Last Tango in Paris, completed in 1972 by the director Bernardo Bertolucci, was supposed to have been shown on Sunday evening as part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/marlonbrando\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Marlon Brando<\/a> retrospective. The film explores the relationship between a widowed American in Paris \u2013 played by Brando \u2013 and a much younger woman, played by Schneider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">The rape scene was simulated but Schneider, who was 19 at the time, said afterwards it had felt like a violation as it was sprung on her without notice or preparation. Her allegations were first made in the 1970s but were largely ignored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2023\/jan\/27\/last-tango-in-paris-bertolucci-anniversary\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">\u201cI felt a little raped, both by Marlon and Bertolucci,\u201d<\/a> Schneider said four years before her death in 2011. She said the film had destroyed her life and had driven her to years of drug abuse. Bertolucci later responded to the allegations by insisting the scene had not been improvised on the day of shooting but acknowledging that Schneider had not been informed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">The director admitted he had made an \u201cartistic decision\u201d not to tell her in order to capture her reaction. \u201cI feel guilty, but I don\u2019t regret it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Judith Godr\u00e8che, an actor and leading figure in France\u2019s #MeToo movement, had been critical of the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que\u2019s decision to screen the film without providing context to viewers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cIt\u2019s time to wake up, dear Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que, and restore humanity to a 19-year-old actor by behaving humanely,\u201d she posted on her Instagram account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Critics had also attacked the timing of the screening, which would have come towards the end of the trial of the film director Christophe Ruggia, who stands <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/dec\/09\/french-film-director-christophe-ruggia-faces-charges-of-sexual-harassment-of-child-actor-adele-haenel\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">accused of grooming and sexually abusing Ad\u00e8le Haenel<\/a> during and after shooting of his 2002 film Les Diables (The Devils) when she was 12. Ruggia has called the charges \u201cpure lies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Had it gone ahead, the screening would also have come towards the end of the Mazan mass rape trial, in which verdicts and sentencing are expected later this week. Dominique Pelicot, 72, is facing up to 20 years in jail for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/dec\/11\/a-rapist-can-be-in-the-family-how-dominique-pelicot-became-one-of-the-worst-sexual-predators-in-history\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">drugging his wife, Gis\u00e8le, 73, and inviting strangers to rape her<\/a>. A further 50 men accused of aggravated rape or sexual abuse will also be judged and sentenced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Given the chance to address the court for the last time on Monday, Dominique Pelicot, who admitted the decade-long abuse of his wife, said: \u201cI wish to salute the courage of my ex-wife who has had to listen the suspicions of complicity \u2026 I regret what I have done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2024\/dec\/16\/last-tango-in-paris-screening-cancelled-after-womens-rights-protests\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A prestigious French cinema has cancelled a screening of Last Tango in Paris after women\u2019s rights groups protested at its infamous rape scene filmed without the consent of the leading &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=137835\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137835\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
