We discovered her in 1999 in “Sade” by Benoît Jacquot.
Diaphanous complexion, clear eyes and still adolescent face, Isild Le Besco played her first major role opposite Daniel Auteuil.
It was a few months after filming this film that the actress, then aged 16, began a relationship with Benoît Jacquot, 52 years old at the time.
While the filmmaker is today the target of a complaint from Judith Godrèche for “rape with violence against a minor under 15 years old”, Isild Le Besco recognized in Le Monde “psychological or physical violence”.
Without saying more.
The actress also accused Jacques Doillon, also the target of a complaint for “rape of a minor” by Judith Godrèche, of having withdrawn a role from her after several weeks of work because she had refused his advances.
Questioned by other women, the two filmmakers deny the facts: Jacquot refutes any physical violence against Isild Le Besco and Doillon denounces “lies”.
