Camille, songwriter behind the Oscar-nominated film’s score, has spoken out about the recent controversy surrounding lead actress Karla Sofia Gascón. In a recent interview with Deadline, Camille expressed relief in discussing the issue and clarified that the team disagrees with Gascón’s opinions.
“We all agree this is not possible,” Camille said. “Jacques [Audiard] has been very clear about it, and Zoe [Saldaña] has been very clear about it.” Camille emphasized that the team does not support hate speech or racist language.
The controversy erupted after Gascón made posts on X that sparked outrage. However, Camille wants to focus on the film’s campaign and give recognition to everyone involved. “We continue this campaign because we dedicated so much of ourselves and our creativity to this film,” she said.
Camille’s comments have sparked a wider conversation about accountability for hate speech. While some may feel that director Audiard’s response is not severe enough, Camille’s stance on the issue highlights her commitment to promoting inclusivity and respect.
