Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film satirizes France's actual 'affaire Bettencourt' scandal, where L'Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt gave €1 billion to photographer François-Marie Banier. Reality was messier.
Klifa reportedly wrote Marianne specifically for Huppert after she kept asking for 'something where I get to be funny AND terrifying.' Mission accomplished.
