«Les Rayons et les Ombres», de Xavier Giannoli : une promo en dérapage incontrôlé, par Daniel Schneidermann

Daniel Schneidermann's article discusses Xavier Giannoli's film, "Les Rayons et les Ombres," released between the two rounds of municipal elections. The film, starring Jean Dujardin, portrays the collaborationist drift of Jean Luchaire, who initially came from the left. The article questions the relevance of the film's subject matter to contemporary accusations of antisemitism against Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the political agreements between the Socialist Party (PS) and La France Insoumise (LFI). It explores the potential connection, or lack thereof, between Luchaire's historical trajectory and current political controversies in France. The article suggests the film's release and promotion may have inadvertently sparked unintended and uncontrolled associations.
