Movie Roles
As Marie in Marie Baie des Anges (1998), she is among a group of young wanderers who become enmeshed in love, hate, and violence on the French Riviera.
In Lila Says (2005 in film) Giocante portrays a teenager who resides with her aunt in a rough neighborhood in Marseilles. A New York Times reviewer compares her to Brigitte Bardot in And God Created Woman, being a femme more vitale than fatale.
Critic A.O. Scott says that Giocante's combination of innocence and womanly awareness is somewhat overwhelming. However, her charisma and Doueiri's style lend Lila Says an earthiness and romantic quality. The motion picture was adapted from a 1996 novel whose authorship is uncertain.
