Rated R for Nudity (Judith Godreche)
Louise (Judith Godrèche) is living with Clément (Jean-Pierre Léaud), an older man who copes with her bouts of drug addiction and is attempting to give her a hand in getting a television career going. ...
“ This third feature by former Cahiers du Cinéma critic Assayas...... a triangle drama: father (Léaud, playing his real age, for once), much younger second wife (Godrèche, fetching), and semi-estranged son (Langmann, son of Claude Berri)..... an uneasy mixture of love story, semi-documentary study of alienated urban youth and Paris-by-night travelogue..... fine performances....a trial run for later triumphs like Irma Vep and Clean.”

Judith Godreche Biography
Born: Mar 23, 1972
A presence in the French cinema since she appeared in Nadine Trintignant's L'Été prochain (1985) at the age of 13, Judith
Godreche has made something of a reputation for herself starring in films in which she nearly always plays a woman involved
with a much older man. This proclivity was on particular display in Jacques Doillon's La fille de Quinze Ans (1989), in which
Godreche, in her role as the eponymous 15-year-old, hit the sheets with her boyfriend's father (played by Doillon himself);
Benoît Jacquot's La Desenchantee (1990), which cast her as a young woman involved with her mother's lover; Olivier Assayas'
Paris s'éveille (1991), which saw Godreche portraying a drug addict shacked up with Jean-Pierre Léaud; and Assayas' Une
nouvelle vie (1993), in which she played a woman caught up in an abusive relationship with her father's lawyer.
