Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Gaël Morel was himself a former actor who appeared in André Téchiné's 'Wild Reeds,' another queer coming-of-age classic. He clearly knows this territory intimately.
The film's title references both the French New Wave cinema movement and the new wave music genre, cleverly bridging Eric's artistic and sexual awakenings.
