Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Post-7/7 British cinema often treated surveillance as ambient anxiety; this French-British co-production externalizes that paranoia through romantic entrapment.
Saada previously made documentaries about intelligence services; the film's procedural accuracy comes from actual handlers who consulted off-record.
