She took a break from acting in 1971–1972, but returned as Brigitte Bardot's lover in "Don Juan, or If Don Juan Were a Woman" (1973). The same year, she had a supporting role in the horror film "Dark Places" with Christopher Lee and Joan Collins. In 1975, she appeared in Gainsbourg's first film, "Je t'aime moi non plus", which created a stir for frank examination of sexual ambiguity, and was banned in the United Kingdom by the British Board of Film Classification. For this performance, she was nominated for a Best Actress César Award.
