Vahina Giocante

[1] In the 2004 film directed by Ziad Doueiri, Lila Says (French title: Lila dit ça), Giocante portrays a teenager who resides with her aunt in a rough neighborhood in Marseille.

Scott compared her to Brigitte Bardot in And God Created Woman, being "a femme more vital than fatale".

He further wrote "Ms. Giocante's intoxicating mixture of gamine innocence and womanly knowingness is almost too much for the movie but her charisma ... give it a mood that is at once breathlessly romantic and cannily down to earth.

"[2] In 2009 she appeared in Bellamy, the last film of celebrated French director Claude Chabrol.

[citation needed] In February 2024, Giocante accused director Benoit Jacquot of sexually abusing her.
