This was Claude Jade's final theatrical film before her untimely death; she reportedly found the comedic role a refreshing departure from her Truffaut collaborations.
The film satirizes France's rigid lycée system just as 1981's socialist election was reshaping education policy—making its mutiny weirdly prescient.
