It was a highly unique César ceremony which unfolded on Friday night in Paris. Rewarding the best of French film, in a year which lost several months of activity to the health crisis and its subsequent closure of French cinemas (whose curtains have been drawn, again, since 30 October) - a fact which many of those receiving or presenting awards didn’t hesitate to denounce, blasting the government with a tide of verbal cannonballs over its current handling of national culture - the event was nonetheless allowed to unspool in person (with reduced capacity and amidst strict safety protocols).
