Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Roméo Créton, who plays Léo, is director Maxime Roy's actual son — the father-son tension has real lineage.

Cultural

This quietly belongs to a wave of French cinema examining failed masculinity without redemption arcs — think Audiard's early work but gentler.
