Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of 2010s Belgian queer cinema (think 'North Sea Texas' but adult) that treats sexuality as emotional syntax rather than spectacle. Micheli cited Chéreau's 'Intimacy' as a touchstone for filming bodies without objectifying them.
The title's blues aren't musical — they're the post-coital kind, the 'what now' that hits when skin stops feeling like escape. Micheli deliberately cast non-professionals for several roles to capture that unguarded quality.
