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.

Juliette Binoche was paid minimum wage at the same rate as the extras.

Juliette Binoche revealed that she didn't know during filming that her whole back body was going to be naked in the poster. "I had done the shoot, but I had no idea what was going to be on the poster and I had no idea of the consequences. When the film came out and this poster was shown, some people just ripped it up because in the 1985 it was like seeing something that was not right and my family were kind of Catholic bourgeois and they really didn't react well," she said.

Juliette Binoche revealed that Lambert Wilson wasn't wearing a 'modesty pouch" in his nude scene. "He's really naked, and he surprised me with every take! I didn't even dare look at him, so I was focused on his eyes so I wouldn't have to confront the thing. (...) He played the thing thoroughly, he said to himself "it's the "thing" scene, so I'm going all out"... And then he was walking around on the set, everything the world was flabbergasted but we got used to it."

André Téchiné cast Juliette Binoche after seeing her in La vie de famille (1985).
