Le 5ème Élément (1997)
Leon: The Professional (1994)
Directed by Luc Besson
a tribute to "LÉON - LE PROFESSIONNEL"
You wanna play it soft. We’ll play it soft. You wanna play it hard. Let’s play it hard.
Leon: The Professional (1994) is a fine film (not a great one), until you learn it's based on writer and director Luc Besson's real life relationship between himself and Maïwenn Le Besco, when he was 32 and she was 15.
It gets even worse when you learn that they only dated when she was 15 because it was the legal age in the country they were in. He met her when she was 12. Besson also has other allegations against him regarding a former assistant.
There are so many nonces in cinema it actually kills it for me.
Luc Besson is directing a new Dracula adaptation? Where have I heard that name before???

And then from the same article:
