"I can't make a film otherwise. When I film Emilie Dequenne as an infanticidal mother in “To Lose Your Reason”, I don’t want to judge her. Here, what was disturbing during rehearsals was discovering the enormous abyss into which all the protagonists were plunged. Silence leads to non-recognition of the crime.
Belgian and a teenager at the time of the Dutroux affair, I attended the “White March”. At the time, experiencing what I say in “Elève libre”, I couldn’t help but think that among the 4000 people marching, there must be pedophiles. Twenty years later, we have gone from the isolated pervert, the monster who comes out of the woods, to questioning what is happening in our families and in our bedrooms. In this sense, the period we are living in is magnificent."
