Skandale på Cannes: Trump truer med sagsanlæg mod filmen 'The Apprentice'

Skal Trumps tidlige år som ejendomsudvikler være på filmlærredet? Læs om truslerne om retssag fra Trump-kampagnen mod 'The Apprentice' på Cannes Film Festival.

På Cannes Film Festival har en film med titlen 'The Apprentice' skabt røre, da den frembringer en biografisk fortælling om en ung Donald Trump i 1980'erne. Kritikere har rost filmen, men den tidligere præsident truer med at sagsøge producenterne for indholdet, som han kalder 'ren fiktion'. Instruktøren, Ali Abbasi, er ligeglad med truslerne og tilbyder endda at vise filmen direkte for Donald Trump.

Trods Trump-kampagnens trusler om retssag mod 'The Apprentice' har Sebastian Stan modtaget en otte minutters stående ovation for sin rolle som den unge Trump under filmens premiere. Filmen har skabt uventede kontroverser og skarpe reaktioner på festivalen, hvor Donald Trump selv ville blive overrasket over måden, hans historie portrætteres på filmen, ifølge instruktøren Ali Abbasi.

En ny bølge af modig filmkunst rammer Cannes, hvor 'The Apprentice' er en del af en eksperimenterende fortælling om politiske figurer og skaber en forfriskende spænding for mange. Trods Trumps trusler står instruktør Ali Abbasi fast og afviser at lade sagsanlægget overskygge filmens succes på festivalen.
