In a wide-ranging press conference, festival boss Thierry Fremaux said much of the debate around scandals around the French event was disingenuous.

Cannes: Kelsey Asbille, Finn Wittrock to Lead Horror 'Don't Move' for Sam Raimi, 'Barbarian' Producer Alex Lebovici “I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the U.S.,” said Fremaux, speaking to the press on Monday. “To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule: It’s the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of speech and act within a legal framework.

“She didn’t think that when she came to Cannes unless she suffered from a crazy dissonance,” Fremaux said, adding that was “normal” for people to use Cannes to discuss political and social issues “because we give them a platform.” He added that he found much of the media debate around the issue disingenuous.

“If you thought that this is a festival for rapists, you wouldn’t be here listening to me, you would not be complaining that you can’t get tickets to get into screenings,” he noted.
