She went on to study, some years later, at the Ecole de Comédiens du Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre, under the direction of Patrice Chéreau. It was in 1987 that she met Jean-Pierre Bacri, with whom she wrote numerous stage plays including “Kitchen With Apartment” (1991) and “Family Resemblances” (1994.) In the cinema, she has worked as both actress and screenwriter.

As a screenwriter, Jaoui wrote the screen adaptation of “Kitchen With Apartment” and “Family Resemblances” together with Jean-Pierre Bacri.
