The delayed trial of French actor Gérard Depardieu over the alleged sexual assault of two women on the set of a movie filmed in 2021 opens on Monday in Paris. With a prolific international career, he is the highest-profile figure in French cinema to face such accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
The hearing was postponed in October because Depardieu was too unwell to appear in court, according to his lawyer.
