Judith Godrèche filed a complaint for “rape of a minor” against director Benoît Jacquot, with whom she had a relationship at 14, while he was 25 years her senior. A decision which demonstrates “awareness” for the French actress, who gradually revealed, through the media, the nature of her story with the director.
In passing, she undermines the inaction of cinema in the face of sexual and sexist violence in the industry. The subject was first mentioned in Elle magazine on December 7.
