Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Arno Hintjens was already a legendary Belgian rock star; this was his first dramatic role, cast against type as a void rather than a presence.
The title 'Komma' (comma) suggests a pause in life — fitting for a film about someone suspended between who she was and who she's told to be. Doyen deliberately avoids the thriller beats audiences expect.
