French cinema is reeling after the CEO of the country's biggest investor in films, Canal+, said he would no longer work with hundreds of actors, directors, producers and technicians who signed an open letter criticising the right-wing views of media mogul Vincent Bolloré, who owns a 30 percent share of the company. But given the number of signatories, can Maxime Saada follow through on his threat?
"I do not want to work with people who call me a crypto-fascist," Saada said last week, referring to the 600 people in the film industry who had signed the letter, including leading French actors Juliette Binoche and Adèle Haenel.
