Godard shot this during his disastrous attempt to get Zoetrope to fund his 'Dick Tracy' script—Coppola rejected him, so he made this instead.
The title references both Balzac and Godard's own 'La Chinoise'—he's literally recycling his own references while mocking Coppola's recycling of Hollywood tropes.
