Sade

In her book 'Dire vrai', Isild Le Besco talked about her nude scene in this movie when she was 17. "Benoît [Jacquot] was obsessed with seeing me naked, lying down, facing the camera. I didn't want it and had announced it from the start. He swore to me that we would shoot with a small crew and that we wouldn't see anything on camera. I felt indebted: I had the feeling that refusing would be a betrayal, while he had trusted me from the start. I gave in. I was simply there to serve his film, after all. My perception of limits was blurred. I was becoming his artistic object, an extension of him. The weekend before the shooting of this scene, Benoît gave me his credit card. He specified that I was free to buy whatever I wanted with it. A credit card against my teenage body and, above all, the surpassing of my limits," she wrote.
