Where are the directors of Caesars? For the first time since 2014, no female filmmakers are nominated in the Best Achievement category for the ceremony, which takes place on Friday, February 24 in Olympia.
Forget Alice Diop, Rebecca Zlotowski, Alyssa Winokur, Mia Hansen Love, or even Claire Danes and Claire Simon in the directing category. And when it comes to the director’s award, you have to go back to 2000 to see a woman stand out: Toni Marshall is the only female director winner in this category to date, with Vénus Beauté Institut. Almost a quarter of a century ago…
This total lack of César nominations for 2023 made us think about what a very good year for cinema this year has been offered by French female directors. A major absence that often reflects the sheer variety of films on offer in 2022. There was a lot of creativity, risk-taking, and sometimes even some radicalism.
From the nominations, we picked 6 forgotten films that we wanted to name, and our greed for cinema will no doubt lead to other recommendations.
Discover our team’s picks while you wait for the next César ceremony, which will take place this Friday, February 24, 2023, live on Canal+ from the legendary Olympia Hall in Paris.
