I didn't know she had spoken out against the mistreatment of Algerians in France, though that doesn't surprise me. (I do, however, remember the AIDS rumors. She even went on TV to say that she was ok. And she wasn't the only AIDS-rumor-victim of the period. Burt Reynolds and Richard Gere -- among others -- were also dying of AIDS in the 1980s...)

I think that was the year she recited passages from the Satanic Verses as the Cesar Awards. I think that's around the time the rumors that she had died of AIDS were published in the papers. So I don't blame Costa-Gavras for being diplomatic.
