Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Masson co-wrote the screenplay after becoming fascinated by how men describe women they're obsessed with — each version revealing more about the speaker than the subject.
Released during the height of 1990s French 'cinéma du look' decline, this film helped pioneer a rawer, female-directed alternative to male-gaze noir like 'Diva' or 'Subway.'
