Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Charlotte Gainsbourg's early film period—she'd soon become Lars von Trier's muse. Small world of European intensity.

Cultural

Released during a wave of French 'jeune cinéma' exploring disaffected youth, but this one's more 'disaffected adult having a breakdown.'
