La puce

In her book 'Dire vrai', Isild Le Besco talked about her sex scenes in this movie. "I was fourteen at the time of shooting. My mother, Jowan, Léonor and Kolia also played small roles. The family scenes with them were joyful. For the other sequences, which made up the bulk of the film and were shot in Paris, I was alone with the crew. For the deflowering scene of Marion, my character, we needed a shot with the lead actor's sex erect - he'd made a commitment to Emmanuelle [Bercot], as I understood it. We waited for him to get hard before shooting. Well, he had a bit of a hard-on. Not enough for Emmanuelle, who expected more and better. Nevertheless, they started filming. In the scene, I had to stare at the actor's sex. Off-camera, he mumbled in shame. This went on for a long time. The whole team seemed to accept the situation naturally. I was discovering these methods and the discomfort they aroused in me. But I was only fourteen and did as I was told. Shooting with Emmanuelle was an adventure that was both brilliant and nerve-wracking," Le Besco wrote.
