French cinema in all its diversity looks at the world with its eyes wide open, as the 41th caesar ceremony.
Audrey Azoulay, Minister of Culture and Communication, warmly congratulates all the winners.
The award honours the acuity and diversity of our cinema, where singular and universal films such as Philippe Faucon’s Fatima and Mustang by Deniz Gamze Ergüven shine. It rewards Marguerite by Xavier Giannoli and her exceptional actress Catherine Frot, like Vincent Lindon who embodies the refusal of thea Law of the market Stéphane Brizé, or Three memories of my youth, for which Arnaud Desplechin is awarded the César for best director.
This success is the result of the work of all French film professionals, accompanied by a determined public policy.
The Minister salutes the Académie des César and its President Alain Terzian for the organization of this ceremony, chaired by Claude Lelouch.
She finally sends her warmest wishes for success to the film Mustang who will represent France with panache at the Oscars this Sunday evening.
