Acting
Day-Lewis simmering quietly—before he became THE Daniel Day-Lewis.
Cinematography
Gritty, beautiful late-80s France that makes you want to move tomorrow.
Director
Conny Templeman
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Templeman never directed another feature—this remains her sole theatrical film, making it a fascinating one-off.
Made during the Thatcher-Reagan era, the film's leftist politics and sexual frankness feel like a direct response to conservative 1980s culture.
