Bad Company (original title: Mauvaises Fréquentations) is a 1999 French film starring Maud Forget and Lou Doillon. It is a romantic drama about two young students falling in love. The movie is written by Alain Layrac, and directed by Jean-Pierre Améris. A few scenes from this movie are featured in a music video by Lene Marlin for her song, "Where I'm Headed".
Alain Layrac, the screenwriter, said the casting lasted nine months with 2,000 auditions. "Due to the subject of the film, many have given up. The main actress, Maud Forget, had never done anything. And she carries the whole film on her shoulders. When she started the movie, she had never kissed a boy in her life! And she had to play prostitution scenes in a toilet. Many professional actresses had refused", he recalled.[2]
