Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gaël Morel cast his own brother Aurélien as the younger sibling; Paul Morel playing their father is their actual father.
Made in 1995, this preceded the 'New French Extremity' movement but shares its interest in bodily vulnerability and repressed sexuality. Rideau would become Morel's muse in 'Wild Reeds' (1994) and beyond.
