Catherine Deneuve on Woman's Hour, and the IMF Scandal

Last Thursday, the French actress Catherine Deneuve was interviewed for Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4. I'm going to see her new film "Potiche" next Monday with my mum, so I thought I'd listen to the interview. The film is about a "trophy" wife, who becomes a successful businesswoman when forced to take over the family business after her husband falls ill.

Here's the interview

What I found particularly interesting in the interview was her reaction to the IMF scandal (Dominique Srauss-Kahn, the managing director of IMF was arrested in New York after he allegedly sexually assaulted a maid in his hotel). From what I've read, the reaction to this scandal in France is very different to the reaction in America.

I watched a few videos about the scandal, and I found this one particularly interesting.

Let me know your opinions!
