Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sophie Marceau was 24 but had already starred in seven films; this was her rare dive into psychological intensity over star vehicle.
The kibbutz setting in 1967 places these French bohemians literally on the eve of the Six-Day War, their personal melodrama oblivious to regional catastrophe.
