In an interview about this movie, director Claude Chabrol stated: "Dr. M stresses the fact that we are continuously manipulated, and that political speak has invaded every circle. This is why, faced with steely-hearted strategy experts and computer brains, I hope that my film will be stimulating, since it does homage to lucidity as our only defensive weapon."
Director Claude Chabrol makes two in-joke references to Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922), of which this is another adaptation of the original novel: a trucker named "Rudi Klein-Rogge", after the actor who portrayed Mabuse in the 1922 movie, and a policeman who falsely gives his name as "Lang", after director Fritz Lang.
Was three years in the making.
Although director Claude Chabrol was famous for his extreme admiration for Alfred Hitchcock, who is frequently referenced in Chabrol films, he eventually came to believe that Fritz Lang was an even more important film-maker, once telling an interviewer that "without Lang, there would be no Hitchcock". This film was designed specifically as an elaborate tribute to Lang and was released in 1990, the centenary year of Lang's birth.
The film takes place in 1999.
