To give a reason behind removing the movie from the festival.As per a report by Variety the producer of the movie Elisabeth Perez defended the scenario by stating the information as "malevolent rumours, and these allegations should not lead to the life or death of a film. Nor should they take away its right to be selected for Cannes".An incident from the sets involved an org called the CCHSCT, whose task is to prevent violence, harassment and sexism on shoots. The orgsation inspected the production of "Le Retour" following complaints and alerted the general attorney.National Film Center, (CNC), mentioned another incident about a scene of a sexual nature featuring the 15-year-old female protagonist of the film was added to the script and allegedly filmed without the consent of the Commission des Enfants du Spectacle, a government-backed orgzation, the CNC said it "has decided, considering the failure in respecting the social obligations of the production, to withdraw its subsidies" for the film.CNC also decided to cut over the subsidies but also gave some sort of relief as it never wanted the to crew get robbed of their pay for the work on sets of the film.'Le Retour' is a story of Kheididja, a woman looking after the children of a wealthy family during a summer in Corsica. The job allows Kheididja to return to the island with her own daughters after fleeing it 15 years prior under tragic circumstances.The movie stamps Corsini's follow-up to 'The Divide' which competed at Cannes in 2021 and won a Cesar award for supporting actor Aissatou Diallo Sagna.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
