Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nicolas Bedos and Doria Tillier were real-life partners during filming; their onscreen friction carries authentic charge.
The title references France's late-19th-century 'golden age'—ironic, since Victor's 'belle époque' is merely 1974 Lyon, collapsing personal nostalgia into national myth.
