Not a single chair is empty in the tree-lined courtyard of the school, we will sit on the ground and listen. “Le Un” weekly offers meetings under the title “I have a singing memory”, during which journalist Eric Fotorino speaks publicly with the personality. Actress, screenwriter and director Judith Godrech is opening the ball this Wednesday, July 10. “We know the actress, but today we want to know her a little more,” smile Michel and Jean-Paul, the Normandy couple in love with Charents, “we really appreciate her for what she stands for.”
Judith Godrech’s presence is in fact inseparable from her recent speeches to denounce the silence surrounding sexual violence in cinema. She filed a rape complaint against the filmmakers in 2023 and 2024 respectively. “We cannot ignore the truth because this is not about our child, our son, our daughter,” he said at the time. 21-year-old Nina Mirabel recognizes him with this speech. “I had never seen his films, but his speech in February at the Cesars, which had a great impact on me,” the young woman assures, “he freed the word.”
Harmony in songs too
At 5:30 p.m., Judith Godrech, with her blond boyish haircut, big butterfly glasses, and sweet smile, sits down next to Eric Fattorino. The interview will be very intimate. We are talking informally. The actress, screenwriter and director seems relaxed and does not hesitate to make fun of her interlocutor’s French accent. The interview focuses on the theme of the songs highlighting his life.
For Judith Godrech, “music is a way to communicate with those we love.” France Gall first with “Si Maman Si”, then with Nick Cave and finally with “A Happy Man” with William Scheller. He chose these songs from the previously mentioned artists. They were played live by Faux Amis, featuring his son Noah Boone, who is also in La Rochelle.
When asked by Eric Fotorino if he sings and would like to act in a musical. The 52-year-old actress answers with a hearty laugh. ” Pointing to the group of Faux amis to his left, he agrees. “They can testify that I sing badly. »
The public is drawn to the courtyard of the École d’Or. Some let a few tears flow to the sound of a cover of A Happy Man. “This is a song about a man asking for consent. There’s an artist who comes here (editor’s note: Francofolias) and doesn’t do that,” Judith Godrech concluded to applause.
