Adele Hennel and Cinema: An Actor’s Radical Decision Towards the Profession

Adele Henell, more loyal than ever, says she is leaving cinema, with two exceptions. The actor explained this in the columns of the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto, in Milan, where he is currently playing in the theater.

Away from the world of cinema in 2019, Adele Hennel has since focused on her theatrical career and multiplied her busy positions, proving her strong commitment to the political arena.

If the actor has already clearly explained his position towards the world of cinema in Marine Turch’s book, Lack of evidenceWhich was published in Seuil last fall, he says a little more today about possible future collaborations and how his choices can be made.

In an interview Il ManifestoThe Italian equivalent of the newspaper L’Humanité, Adele Hennel, directly says that she stops the cinema, then explains. “I will no longer work with established directors, but only with new, future artists. ᲛOnly (Established Director) Who I can work with again is Celine Skiama Because our relationship goes beyond the professional, but it has to be in another economic system. And it’s not a matter of choosing a subject, in relation to a topic. It is a matter of redefining reality, of questioning our perception, as Giselle does (Gisele Vienne, Directed by L’Etang, ed.). Form and meaning coincide.

They say they are fighting against sexism, but in reality nothing has changed.

Adele Hennel continues Il Manifesto by journalist Simona Spaventa in the form that this cinema can take.We have a lot of artists who have to do cinema differently, with different representations, with other bodies. I can participate in this movie if it happens. And there are interesting films like Payal Capadia’s “All Night Unknown” or Ali Diop’s “We”. “

And add:But in the film industry as it is today, there is no hope. We see this in the way women are viewed. They use it to hide the nakedness of one or two oppressive systems. You just have to reconsider your skin choices. They say they are fighting against sexism, but in reality nothing has changed. Those in power continue to oppress us. We always reward abusers and they want me to shut up? Never. “

Politics today is a state of emergency, a matter of life and death.

More loyal than ever, Adele Henell explains that in addition to the career she intends to pursue in the theater (especially with people like Gisele Vienne), she now devotes her time to political commitments and listening to the victims:Most of my energy right now is devoted to listening to victims of violence. But I love art and still think it’s important as a collective experience. It remains one of the centers of my life. “

The second is politics, which today is an emergency, a matter of life and death. It is good that Le Pen failed to win, but Macron exacerbates the issue of racism, divides the working class and weakens it. He is an authoritarian figure in what we see as the use of violence against demonstrators and what is unbearable. They try to reduce the dialogue, which makes it the dominant monologue. In France, anger is very strong and it is the only thing that can lead to change. “

Adele Hennel will soon be at the Amandier Theater in Nanterre for the play L’Etang, directed by Gisele Vienne, which has sold out. There is no filming on the agenda. Contrary to many media reports, Adele Henley will not be in the cast of Bruno Dumont’s next film, Empire, which is set to be shot this summer with Lily-Rose Depp, Camille Cotin, Anamaria Bartholomew and Fabri Luchin.

For reference, Adele Hennel’s last speech last fall dates back to journalist Marine Turc. Two years after collecting the actor’s shocking testimony Adele Henley (Accuses director Christophe Rougia of sexual harassment and harassment) and conducted a wide-ranging investigation into #MeToo in French cinema, a Mediapart reporter published a book-titled “Evidence Fault” with a lengthy interview with Adele Henel back. Details about his court trip and the feedback we had on his speech.

The movie world, to me, wants to heal a little bit of the questions that have just arisen.

He also presented his vision for the film industry today: “The movie world, to me, wants to heal a little bit of the questions that have just arisen. Is a kind of obsession to make peace as soon as possible, i.e. to sink back. Status QuoRather, we need to take the time to understand the results of the #MeToo movement in order to deeply transform the work organization and community.“- he said during this fifteen-page interview, which is approaching the closing of the book by Marine Turch.

More than two years have passed since this story. I do not really regret it because this is the most important thing I have ever done in my life. (…) The most important thing for me today, beyond justice, is the society. The feeling that my approach can help some people. (…) The main thing is to welcome these stories and acknowledge that this is a social problem that we can address.
