INTERVIEW
She received the César for best actress in 2019, for her role in "Until the guard". Invited Thursday at the microphone of Mathieu Noël on Europe 1, in "The wild team", Léa Druker returned on the controversial nomination of the film J'accuse, by Roman Polanski, in 12 categories for the César 2020. If the actress claims fully her feminist convictions, she also believes that we should not "prevent works from existing".

"It is very difficult to position yourself," concedes the actress, who will be playing in the film C'est la vie, next April. "I find that this is a subject that requires debates that can last for hours. I do not have a frank and radical answer on this," she continues.

Prevent the film from existing? "I'm at odds with this"
Even if she does not have a clear opinion, Léa Druker does not give up her convictions. "It is true that there is a current movement, a feminist movement which is very strong, which is international, and to which I am hyper sensitive and of which I feel very very concerned and to which I fully subscribe. on the other hand I find that preventing works from existing or putting them aside ... I am at odds with that. I find that it is two different things ", she argues.
So should we give a Caesar to Roman Polanski? The question agitates the world of cinema. But then again, thinking about it takes time and reflection. "I think it will not go anyway. I find that the current debate is more complex than that. It touches on many things this story. And there in three sentences, I will not know how to answer it well", she sweeps, for fear of "regretting what [she will] say."
