Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The École Nationale de la Magistrature is real and notoriously elite — a 50-year-old farmer crashing it is genuinely transgressive in French class-conscious society.

Insight

Michèle Bernier was 59 when cast; producers initially wanted someone younger. Her refusal to age-conform mirrors Constance's plot — life imitating art imitating justice.
