Gérard Miller questioned the director Benoît Jacquot about, in particular, his relationship with the actress Judith Godrèche when the latter was 14 years old and the director, 42.
“By starting to live with Judith Godrèche when she was still minor, was it a transgression?
, asks the psychoanalyst.
“A girl like this Judith who was 15 and I was 40, in principle I didn't have the right, I don't think.
But she didn't give a damn about that and even it excited her a lot, I would say."

The host first explained that Gérard Miller had come across the Student Magnetizer's Manual and that he had tested it on a friend.
“I have never practiced hypnosis with patients since psychoanalysis has definitively abandoned hypnosis and I do not advise anyone to practice hypnosis for therapeutic reasons
,” he explains.
But there is nothing more exciting than seeing hypnosis experiments and seeing the ease with which you can paralyze an arm in a few moments, give someone the feeling of flying or other equally astonishing things. when practicing hypnosis.
