With Icon of French CinemaJudith Godrèche unintentionally set the powder alight and brought with her the #metoo movement in French cinema. If, at the start of the series, no one was mentioned, one name appears as obvious: Benoît Jacquot. A second one eventually also emerges: Jacques Doillon.
Since then, despite the time that has passed, the actress filed a complaint against Benoît Jacquot in February for “rape with violence on a minor under 15 years old” against the man who was 25 years older than her. Another complaint, for sexual abuse, was then filed against Jacques Doillon.
A message full of emotion
Facts that helped Isild Le Besco to decide to file a complaint for rape against Benoît Jacquot. Although the two directors denied everything they were accused of, the courts decided to place them in police custody on Monday, July 1.
A decision welcomed by Judith Godrèche, who reposted an article on the subject in her story. The actress added a photo of herself in her younger years alongside the director, with whom she was in a relationship for more than six years. And it is a message full of emotion that she shared.
“I cry. My eyes are no longer eyes (…) I don’t know if I have the strength but I will have it. I will have it. I will have it, the strength. For her.”
In her fight, Judith Godrèche is supported by her daughter, Tess Barthélemy, 19, who plays the main role in her series and has supported her on several occasions.
