“Vulgarity and provocation have always been his stock in trade”, lamented Sophie Marceau. Aged 19 at the time of filming Police, the actress could not stand his attitude, “rude and very inappropriate”. “A lot of people then turned against me, making me seem like a little pest. And I always refused films with him afterwards”she confided.
“Today, they accuse him of what they praised him for. Everyone laughed with him, everyone loved him for that, everyone applauded him for who he was. And everything the world found it normal. From now on, women speak. Whether you are Gérard Depardieu or Maurice Pialat [réalisateur de Police]you don’t treat people like that, period.”she insisted.
