Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cornouaille refers to a specific Breton region whose identity was suppressed until the 1970s; the film subtly mirrors this cultural haunting with Odile's personal one.
The house was a real abandoned manor director Anne Le Ny discovered in Finistère; locals believed it was genuinely cursed, which Paradis reportedly leaned into for her performance.
