Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Freya Mavor studied Huppert's 1970s films frame-by-frame to match her physicality, not just her voice.

Insight

The film's structural gamble—two actresses, one soul—reflects how we mentally separate 'who I was' from 'who I became,' a rupture Huppert called 'the most honest casting of my career.'
