Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Florian Zeller, the Oscar-winning director and playwright of “The Father” and “The Son,” received the Medal of Honor, France’s highest decoration, at an intimate ceremony in Paris on Wednesday.

Guests included Isabelle Huppert, Pierre Arditi, Catherine Frot and Elodie Navarre who have starred in Zeller’s plays; Christopher Hampton, with whom he shares a best adapted screenplay Oscar for “The Father;” “Simone” actor Elsa Zylberstein; Mediawan boss Pierre-Antoine Capton, with whom he launched the L.A.-based company Blue Morning Pictures; Victoria Bedos (“La famille Belier”); Orange Studio’s Kristina Zimmermann and Sebastien Cauchon, who distributed both “The Father” and “The Son” in France; French singer Julien Clerc; French director Anne Fontaine and producer Philippe Carcassonne; as well as Zeller’s wife, Marine Delterme, an actor who was recently signed by WME.
They treated their dogs in the most horrific way - but these owners won't go to jail

A man and a woman who were exposed for keeping their pet dogs in the most horrific conditions have been spared a jail sentence.
Rebecca Moore and Andrew Thomas have been disqualified for keeping all animals indefinitely after inspectors from the RPSCA were met with shocking scenes at their home in Bolton.
Ryan King, who investigated the pair for the animal charity, found the decaying remains of a dog and described seeing faeces covering the floor of the property.

"The conditions inside were awful - even though I had my face mask the smell was dreadful, a mix of faeces, ammonia and decay," he told Bolton Crown Court.
A total of eight live animals, including three French bulldogs, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and four cats were found at the property on Tudor Avenue in Farnworth.
Moore, 44, and Thomas, 42, both received a prison sentence of two years, but this was suspended for 18 months. They have also been banned from keeping pets for the foreseeable.
The court heard that the RSPCA first attended the property on July 4 last year after the charity's emergency line received a complaint about the condition the animals were kept in.
In his witness statement, Mr King said he found rubbish and mess all over the counters of the kitchen and spotted tins of dog food on the floor which were all empty.
"There was rubbish and faeces everywhere. There were three dog cages in the room, two were filthy and the other was at an angle so that a dog could not get into it," he said.
"On the sofa, which had been ripped up to the point I could see the springs, I found the remains of a dog - a jaw bone, part of the skull, clumps of black fur and a grey flea
