La tragica verità sulla vita di Alain Delon dietro i riflettori

In 2019, at the dizzying height of the global MeToo movement, the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival announced they would bestow an honorary Palme d'Or upon a man whose face had defined French excellence for over sixty years. Per chi non lo sapesse, sembrava l'incoronazione di routine di una leggenda vivente. To the critics, it was a declaration of war. In pochi giorni, oltre 26.000 persone firmarono una frenetica petizione chiedendo al festival di revocare l'onore. Non vedevano il "Dio del cinema"; they saw a man accused of a mountain of moral decay—a history of alleged domestic violence, controversial political stances, and a past tangled with the dark underbelly of the Parisian underworld.
