Argento didn’t just use the moment to call out a known offender. She wanted to put a spotlight on the offenders whose names are still whispered . For every known assault, there are so many more going unreported. “Even tonight sitting among you, there are those that need to be held accountable for their conduct against women,” she continued. “You know who you are, but most importantly we know who you are and we will not allow you to get away with it any longer.” Her stand received an uproar of applause from festivalgoers. Argento’s speech comes days after 82 women locked arms to walk the Cannes red carpet together in solidarity demanding equal pay and gender representation in the film industry
