The last time was forty years ago. Brigitte Lahaie, who was the absolute star of the golden age of X in the 1970s and 1980s, agreed to bare herself for The Last Time , an erotic-pornographic feature film. The one who became a radio host is this time in front of the cameras of Olympus G. a director well known in the community because she makes feminist films. This is what convinced the actress, who confides in Culture Media, on Europe 1, to undress again.
"There is a dictatorship of beauty, while sexuality has nothing to do with beauty"
In The last time , a woman who knows she is condemned is organizing her last night of love. So it is a pornographic film certainly but the intimacy of Brigitte Lahaie is filmed in a roundabout way, with eroticism, understand without close-up. "I am highlighted in my truth today, that of a woman over 60 who continues to be in desire," she explained to Europe 1.

"There are 80% of women practically who do not like their bodies so you can also imagine an aging body," continues the actress. "There is a bit of a dictatorship of beauty, whereas sexuality has nothing to do with beauty. It has to do with sensuality, with charm, with desire. Who apart from me could do this so intense? "
"I let go, maybe even better than before. Because I'm no longer afraid"
Brigitte Lahaie appears in a hundred films showing in the 1970s and 1980s. Here she is, which plunges forty years later. With stage fright? "It's like riding a bicycle, you can't lose it," smiles Brigitte Lahaie. "I did not know how I was going to react for the first scene where I was supposed to enjoy. Well frankly, I felt immediately at ease. I relaxed, and maybe even better than because I'm not afraid anymore. "
More afraid to shoot other films? "I'm not going to do a Bachelot", replies the actress, referring to the brand new Minister of Culture, who had sworn eight years ago that she would no longer taste politics. And Brigitte Lahaie added that she could therefore be tempted by a new scenario if it was interesting.
