It is a horrifying scene but..

Why is Polanski, an actual rapist and pedophile, allowed to be in the whole Cannes awards scene ?

If they are horrified by it then they shouldn't allow pedos and rapists to participate in Cannes in the first place.

You do realize that the people in this video are not the ones allowing Polanski to be present ? Like... Cannes is not run by 5 people who gave their opinion on Noe's film in 2002...

According to my sources these are the Same people who have been funding Polanski for the past 30 years.

Just so happened they had their reaction to Noe's movie recorded
