Argentinian filmmaker Lucrecia Martel says the #MeToo movement is a powerful time for women where the men in the film industry will introspect and behave in a better way.
The director, best known for her films such as "Zama" and "The Headless Woman", said the industry will only become safer thanks to the #MeToo movement.
"What will happen now as a consequence of this is a lot of males will stop over-reaching... Many men within the industry will realise that this is not right and they'll stop behaving in this manner. This way the industry will become safer," Martel told PTI.
The acclaimed filmmaker says sometimes there could be collateral damage too, but it is necessary for the larger good.
"It's a process where a lot of injustice will occur. There will be sometimes a reaction that's a bit exaggerated to events. But all of these moments are necessary because it has been many years of this occurring."
"I think so (it's a powerful time for women). Because what is also uncanny in a way is that currently any joint action has a lot of weight. So as women we have discovered that if we come together, band together, we actually have a lot of power."
"It's not so much sadness but of course I would love to make a film like that. A film about heroes, not necessarily a film like the one Marvel makes."
