What happened “in Jane’s house [Birkin, compagne à l’époque du cinéaste]in the office of Doillon, no one saw that and I didn’t tell anyone about it“, she specifies. But then, “on set, it was mind-blowing.” Jacques Doillon “fired the actor and put himself in place. And then all of a sudden, he decides that there is a love scene, a sex scene between him and me. And there, we do 45 takes. I take off my sweater, I’m shirtless, he gropes me, he makes out with me.”
