Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is basically THE BIG CHILL but French, richer, and with way more unresolved sexual tension. It dominated French box offices by capturing bourgeois thirty-something malaise.
Canet and Cotillard were real-life partners during filming, which adds delicious meta-layer to Marie's romantic chaos. The weasel? Completely unscripted chaos.
