Benoît Jacquot has been the subject of a complaint for rape by Judith Godrèche since January 7. Télérama invited him to react to the comments he made in a documentary broadcast in 2011.
The director believes that the actress is trying to promote her series with fallacious accusations and nitpicking about the age of Judith GodRèche at the time of the events. “Judith defied my desire as a very young woman can do, I believe,” he added before addressing, with a smile, the transgressive potentialities that cinema offers.
