Production[edit]
It was the first cinematic collaboration between Sophie Marceau and Andrzej Zulawski who later married and made a number of other movies together.[5]
Zulawski cast Marceau after seeing her in Fort Saganne. "I was struck by Sophie’s quality of immediate truth," says Zulawski. "It could have been her youth. But when we met, it was obvious that it came from inside her."[6]
"He gets things out of his actors that they never knew were there," said Marceau of the director. "Sometimes it hurts, yet you are changed by it."[6]
Reception[edit]
The film was a commercial flop.[6]
