Asia Argento condemns Harvey Weinstein in powerful Cannes speech: 'He will live in disgrace'

The Cannes Film Festival has been criticised for its lack of firm response to the #MeToo movement and its call for reform within the film industry.

Asia Argento used her moment on stage at the Cannes Film Festival closing ceremony, there to present Best Actress alongside Ava DuVernay, to make a stirring indictment.

“In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes,” she said.
