Career
She began her editing career on the 1951 comedy farce Mr. Peek-a-Boo for Jean Boyer. She went on to edit many of the films made by Michel Boisrond, most notably La Parisienne (1957) and Come Dance with Me! (1959), both starring Brigitte Bardot.
Bouché edited six films for French New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut, starting with the 1960 releases Shoot the Piano Player and The Army Game. Bouché and Truffaut again collaborated on the acclaimed, influential Jules and Jim and the short Antoine and Colette (part of the omnibus project Love at Twenty), both released in 1962. Bouché subsequently edited Truffaut's The Soft Skin (1964) and The Bride Wore Black (1968).
After a six-year hiatus, Bouché returned as editor of the popular 1974 softcore pornographic film Emmanuelle. She edited several more films in the 1970s and served as editorial associate on George Roy Hill's 1979 romantic comedy A Little Romance.
In the 1980s, she edited four films for French writer-director François Leterrier: Les babas cool (1981), Le voleur d'enfants (1981), Le garde du corps (1984) and Tranches de vie (1985). She also did uncredited work on Peter Sellers' final film, the 1980 comedy The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu and co-edited Paul Morrissey's 1985 drama Beethoven's Nephew.
More recently, Bouché was recruited by François Ozon to help edit his films Criminal Lovers (1999) and Water Drops on Burning Rocks (2000). She retired from editing after the latter film, though she received special thanks in the credits of the 2002 film The Truth About Charlie.
