On Sunday, March 22, Jack Lang lost his temper at the MK2 cinema in Bastille after unsuccessfully trying to get special treatment from the staff to avoid the line.
According to revelations from Le Canard enchaîné, confirmed by Le Figaro, former Minister of Culture Jack Lang let his anger out on Sunday, March 22, at the MK2 cinema in Bastille, Paris. He was there to attend the screening of the latest film by Xavier Giannoli, Les Rayons et les Ombres. The former head of the Institut du monde arabe, who recently resigned after news of his connections with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced, was not pleased about having to wait in the sun.
No Special Treatment
Trying to leverage his fame, he asked the cinema staff for priority access, to no avail: “We bought our tickets an hour ago,” he declared, to the astonishment of the onlookers. Faced with the refusal of the staff, he became more agitated, and the former minister delivered a memorable line: “After everything I have done for culture and cinema!”
