Jean-Claude Brisseau (French: [bʁiso]; 17 July 1944 – 11 May 2019) was a French filmmaker best known for his 2002 film Secret Things ("Choses Secrètes") and his 2006 film The Exterminating Angels ("Les Anges exterminateurs").
In 2002, Brisseau was arrested on charges of sexual harassment after three women came forward accusing him of cajoling them into performing sexual acts on camera by promising them a film role.
He was eventually found guilty, fined and given a suspended one-year prison sentence.
[3] Brisseau made a semi-autobiographical film in 2006 about this incident, Les Anges Exterminateurs.
