Director
Mathieu Amalric
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The burlesque performers are all real legends of the neo-burlesque scene, not actors—Amalric found them through documentary research.
The film mirrors Amalric's own experience returning to France after years in American indie cinema, making it uncomfortably autobiographical.
