TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The paintings by Marianne were all created by painter Hélène Delmaire, whom Noémie Merlant worked closely with to inform her character's perspectives and sight lines when painting.

In the festival scene the women sing 'fugere non possum' continuously: it's Latin for 'I cannot escape'. The same chant can be heard over the closing credits.

According to Céline Sciamma, the reason why the film features no musical score is to be obsessed with rhythm, to make the music arise elsewhere, in the movements of the bodies and the camera. Especially since the film is mostly made up of sequence shots and therefore with a precise choreography.

Director Céline Sciamma and Adèle Haenel (Heloise) are ex-lovers. They split amicably prior to filming.

The film was shot in 8k. Céline Sciamma wanted to capture a large dynamic range of colors and for the film to feel contemporary, whereas 35mm felt too timeless.

Popular Dialogues

"Héloïse: When you're observing me, who do you think I'm observing?"

"Héloïse: In solitude, I felt the liberty you spoke of. But I also felt your absence."
