Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'huis clos' structure deliberately traps viewers in the same sensory overload as Souleymane — French critics called it 'social realism at 140 BPM.'
Gomez cast actual undocumented immigrants and filmed at a real squat rave; Alséni Bathily was a first-time actor discovered at a Paris community center.
