The reactions before, as well as before the attitude of the protagonist of Emilia Pérezwho has asked for forgiveness but insists that he is immersed in a campaign of hatred and disqualifications against it, continue to be produced. This Wednesday, who has spoken has been Jacques Audiard (Paris, 72 years old), the director of the film. The filmmaker has publicly spoken on the matter for the first time. Although he had gone to some acts related to the film, until now he had not said a word about what has happened with the protagonist of his film, in a series of events that can greatly affect the route of it in the awards season. Emilia Pérez It is nominated for 13 Oscar, but it is difficult to determine how the words of Gascón can affect them in their career.
Audiard does not seem happy with what happened, nor willing to show gestures of support or affection towards its protagonist, as demonstrated in an interview with the media specialized in cinema. He seems to be desired to enter the rag, because when the journalist asks him about how the vision of the film has changed in recent weeks, he replies: “Are you speaking specifically about Karla Sofia and all that?” When answering yes, and how Gascon’s old posts have become the main issue of the race, Audiard responds. “Yes, unfortunately, it is occupying all the space, and that saddens me a lot. I find it very difficult to remember the work I did with Karla Sofia. The confidence we shared, the exceptional atmosphere we had on the set that, indeed, was based on trust. And when you have that kind of relationship and suddenly you read something that person has said, things that are absolutely hateful and worthy of being hated, of course that relationship is affected. It is as if you fell into a hole. Because what Karla Sofia said is unforgivable. ”
“I have not talked to her and I don’t want to do it,” Audiard continues. “It is in a self -destructive approach in which I can’t interfere, and I really don’t understand why he continues. Why do you hurt itself? Because? I don’t understand it, and what I don’t understand about this is why they are damaging people who were very close to it. I think of how it harms others, how it harms the team and all those people who have worked so hard in this film. I think of me, I think of Zoe [Saldaña] and in Selena [Gomez]. I do not understand why we still harm us, ”said the director, in hard words against his protagonist. He also recognizes that “no” is “in contact with her, because right now it seems to need space to reflect and account for her actions.”
After that hard phrase, the journalist replies: “That feeling”, in reference to reflection, “seems to be missing in his avalanche of comments and interviews. Sometimes it is enough to apologize and recognize that what has been said is a mistake. We have not seen that. ” Audiard replies: “Of course not. The victim is becoming. He is talking about herself as a victim, which is surprising. It is as if he thought that words do not harm. ”
