10 days before his judgment, Gérard Depardieu shoots a new film, directed by Fanny Ardant

Gérard Depardieu, implicated in several cases of sexual violenceis filming in Portugal under the direction of her friend actress Fanny Ardant, AFP learned this Friday, May 2, 2025 from production, arousing the indignation of actresses which denounce a “denial”.

The fallen star of French cinema will know on May 13, 2025 the decision of the Paris Criminal Court, which judged him in March for sexual assaults which he disputes and which would have been committed on the set of “green shutters” (2022). 18 months suspended prison sentence were required against him.

Fanny Ardant, support from Gérard Depardieu

The shooting in which the old sacred monster of French cinema participates, aged 76 ansstarted in April on the island of Sao Miguel, the largest in the Azores archipelago, and must end next week, said to theAFP Producer Ana Pinhao Moura, confirming information from the weekly Here is.

“It is 100% Portuguese production,” she said. “It is a love story around two women who are on a mysterious island”. Fanny Ardant, who signs the scenario and the realization, had testified in favor of Gérard Depardieu during his trial in the case of “green components”.

“I am a woman myself, I experienced things like that, I swung slaps, insults. I know we can say no to Gérard ”had notably declared the actress, defending her “lifelong friend”.

In the film she directed, Gérard Depardieu embodies “the island’s magician, a mysterious figure that makes the link between the other characters,” said Ana Pinhao Moura.

Charlotte Arnould’s anger

The actor has also been indicted since December 2020 following the rape complaint filed by the actress Charlotte Arnould, almost fifty years younger. The actor also rejects these accusations there.

On Instagram, the actress arrested Fanny Ardant to castigate “the indecency of (sound) choice” to entrust a role to Gérard Depardieu.

“A trial has just passed, what is it for you and How much do you feel above all of this? The danger on filming is real. And it is also your responsibility for your team, “wrote Charlotte Arnould, deploring” a layer of denial “.

The idea is not to condemn a man for life but already, for him to be rehabilitated in his own environment, he should do what is necessary … Recognize the crimes and crimes he has committed over his life. I think Fanny was not really good timing.
