Le Consentement
- History
- Drama
In 2013, Vanessa Springora recounts how she found herself under the influence of a famous writer. In 1986, she was 13; him, almost 50. The victim of a triple predation: sexual, literary, and psychic, there's more beyond her individual story. She questions the excesses of an era, and the complacency of an environment blinded by talent and celebrity.
Consent is a 2023 French drama that adapts Vanessa Springora's memoir about her experience as a 13-year-old groomed by a famous older writer in 1986. The film examines the intersection of sexual abuse, literary exploitation, and institutional silence surrounding celebrity. It's a powerful look at how power imbalances and cultural blind spots enable predatory behavior.
