FRENCH ENVOY SUMMONED AFTER FOREIGN MINISTER'S CANNES COMMENTS

Bangkok Post

June 01, 2025

France's envoy in Tehran was summoned Sunday over "insulting" comments by France's foreign minister after an Iranian film won the top prize at the Cannes film festival, state media reported.

In a post on X after dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi won the Palme d'Or on May 24, Jean-Noel Barrot called his victory "a gesture of resistance against the Iranian regime's oppression".

Panahi, 64, was awarded the Palme d'Or for the political drama It Was Just An Accident — a film in which five Iranians confront a man they believe tortured them in prison.

Several actresses also appear in the film without veils, in violation of Iran's strict dress code for women.
