But like many figures of the cinema, the Girondine does not keep only good memories of the shootings in which she participated.

Even at mealtimes, the filmmaker courted her. “It was in the canteen, a proposal to join a studio before resuming filming so it was not hidden. It was huge, moreover, so huge that I did not react. I think I I laughed when I got home and said to myself: ‘But he doesn’t doubt anything, the guy'”.
If Cécile Bois did not wish to file a complaint, she still remembers having raised this issue with several of the team members. “I remember talking about it, the next day, to the assistants including a girl and she said to me: ‘Yes oh, you know, he’s like that. It’s part of his charm too’. And she was a young girl! We were very far from the Me Too movement, but there was a kind of normality. It was defended by everyone. At the same time, I was not traumatized at all, it was anecdotal. didn’t upset me to the point of complaining or even saying, ‘there’s something wrong.” I had heard of casting directors going overboard, it happened.“Troubling confidences.
