Barely unveiled, the new list of 182 representatives of the Caesar is already causing a stir.
The Academy of Caesar lifted the veil Monday on the list of its composition in which the name of Roman Polanski appears.
If the promise of parity has been kept, the presence of the director again causes a lot of reaction.
Last July, the Académie des César adopted a major overhaul of its operations, emphasizing internal democracy and parity between men and women.
At the end of a closed-door meeting in the premises of the National Center for Cinematography (CNC), the administrators of the Academy voted for a profound reform of the statutes.
Until now opaque and based on co-optation, the functioning of the Caesars has been simplified.
The management of the Academy had resigned en bloc in mid-February, after several weeks of open crisis.
Two weeks later, the 45th Cesar ceremony was still able to take place but in a context of great tension, marked by feminist demonstrations and the shattering departure of actress Adèle Haenel when Roman Polanski, targeted by accusations of rape, was awarded in his absence the prize for best achievement.
