Juliette Binoche destroys whatever points she was trying to make with the Gerard Depardieu case by wearing an Islamic veil
Giulio Meotti reports that the French actress Juliette Binoche wore an Islamic veil to Cannes, which a man as vile as Gerard Depardieu couldn't possibly care less about:
The president of this year's Cannes Film Festival is Juliette Binoche, a splendid actress but also an incorrigible left-wing bobo militant of beat environmentalism. She showed up with a strange veil on her head at Cannes. Perhaps a glamorous hijab? A winking half-veil? A chic white chador? In any case, she looked like a sort of Islamically correct Madonna.And this unfortunate young lady, I'm guessing, is exactly the kind of person Binoche doesn't want to defend. It's shameful, and additionally contradicts her alleged distaste for Gerard Depardieu. As a result, Binoche's commentary on the issue collapses, and it's going to be difficult watching her films for quite a while, much like Depardieu's. This also makes clear what a shambles Cannes really is.
It's easy to be a leftist when you're swimming in millions and risk nothing on the Rive Gauche (Left Bank of the Seine, Paris,ed.). But courage is taking off your veil in Kabul (where the Taliban whip women in public) and Tehran (where the Mullahs whip women in prison), not putting one on in front of an assembly of artists and billionaires who gorge themselves on caviar while talking about “sustainability”.
Two years ago, an actress first showed up veiled at Cannes and the feminists applauded in the name of “inclusion” and the usual banal political correctness. Certainly no one expected to hear words spoken from the stage by Zahra Amir Ebrahimi, the Iranian actress who won the award for best actress at Cannes for her role in the film Holy Spider by director Ali Abbasi. Ebrahimi said that “women are oppressed in Afghanistan, Iran, Mali and…. in the Parisian suburbs”.
Parisian suburbs?
Yes, you should ask the Algerian poet and writer Kamel Bencheikh, who reports what happened to her daughter in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. “Around 11 p.m., my daughter Élise was waiting for the bus line 60 with a friend, at the Botzaris stop near the Buttes-Chaumont park. When it arrived, the driver stopped, looked at them and drove off without opening the doors.” The driver told Bencheikh’s daughter, who was wearing a miniskirt: “Think about dressing properly.”
