Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mouret channels classic French farce through a lens of modern romantic anxiety—Caprice functions as an externalized id, making the film secretly about male self-sabotage.
Virginie Efira was primarily a TV presenter before this film; her casting as the 'unattainable woman' deliberately plays on her public image as Belgium's sweetheart.
