Actress Adele Haenel leaves the ceremony after Roman Polanski was awarded Best Director at the 45th Annual Cesar Film Awards ceremony held at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, France on February 28, 2020. Haenel has been an active voice in the #MeToo movement which, as she outlined in a recent New York Times interview, she believes has failed in France. That claim appeared to resonate at the Césars — France’s equivalent to the Academy Awards — when Polanski, a convicted sex offender, won the top directing prize. In fall 2018, Haenel spoke about her own experience with sexual harassment while working with “The Devils” director Christophe Ruggia. Haenel was up for Best Actress at the French awards this year, but lost to Anaïs Demoustier for “Alice and the Mayor.” Photo by Nasser Berzane/ABACAPRESS.COM
