In 2023,
Juliette Binoche said she was shocked during the scene where Nina is sleeping and Quentin and Paulot, played by
Lambert Wilson and
Wadeck Stanczak, put their hands between her legs. "One of the actors (I don't know which one, and in a way I don't want to know), took the liberty of touching my sex to wake me up. It was on the initiative of the director or the actor, in any case I remember being shocked. It was my first big role, I didn't say anything at the time, I still think about it. I should have roared!", the actress regretted.
In an interview in July 2024, director
André Téchiné rejected Binoche's accusation. "Her nudity in the film, I was responsible for it, but at her side, with her consent and approval, not as the only master on board and far from the "marketing" effect of the producer. 'Rendez-Vous' was the story of a woman who wanted to make her body an artistic instrument, nudity was part of the subject...[...] But I can't think I hurt her, it's impossible... And there was no sexual relationship between us," he said.
