Thanks to the MeeToo debate

"There is more respect during filming, even during intimate scenes," she said in Cannes on Wednesday. She had experienced the time before and after. "I feel that something has changed," she emphasized. "It's good that tongues are loosening. It's about time."
She was aware that her status protected her, she said, alluding to her experience and fame.

"When you're a young actress, it's more difficult, you're more vulnerable," said Seydoux, who plays one of the leading roles in the opening film of the Cannes Festival, "The Second Act".
