Catherine Corsini defends herself against accusations on set of Cannes contender.
French film director Catherine Corsini and producer Elisabeth Perez have denied allegations of harassment and putting children at risk during the shooting of their film, Le Retour, which has been shortlisted for the Cannes Palme d’Or award. The allegations led to the film being excluded from the competition, but it was later reinstated after an investigation. The film follows a woman who travels to Corsica with her employers to look after their children during the summer holidays. The film has divided the French film industry, with one director announcing a boycott of the festival and feminists claiming that the industry has learned nothing from #MeToo.
