Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has instructed lawyers to sue the makers1 of a movie in which veteran French star Gerard Depardieu plays a sex addict2 who commits a sexual assault on a hotel maid, his lawyer said on Monday.

国际货币基金组织前总裁多米尼克·斯特劳斯·卡恩将起诉影片《欢迎到纽约来》的制片方。影片中，法国老牌影星杰拉德·德帕迪约饰演一个有性瘾的人，这个角色对宾馆招待进行了性侵犯。
 
"Welcome to New York" by Abel Ferrara, which had a private screening on the sidelines of the Cannes film festival at the weekend and has been on pay-per-view in France, is billed as a piece of fiction and comes with a legal disclaimer.
 
But Strauss-Kahn's lawyer said the film was defamatory（诽谤的） in that its subject matter was similar to the accusations3 leveled against Strauss-Kahn, who quit the Washington-based International Monetary4 Fund in 2011 after a New York hotel maid accused him of sexual assault.
 
Strauss-Kahn settled a civil case taken by the maid after criminal charges were dropped.
 
"This happened three years ago and he was cleared," lawyer Jean Veil told Europe 1 radio on Monday.
 
"He is frightened, sickened (by the film). He has instructed his lawyers, myself, to make a complaint for defamation5 based on accusations of rape6, on the insinuations made throughout this film."
 
Interviewed by Reuters TV in Cannes, fimlmaker Ferrara said the film was fiction and that he had the right to choose his subjects.
 
"I'm not on trial," Ferrara said. "I'm an artist, I have freedom of speech. I'm from America I'm from the country of the free, land of the free and home of the brave.
