Interesting facts
Holy Lola is a 2004 French drama film that is directed by Bertrand Tavernier. Tavernier said that the film was very, very moving, very exciting to do, and it made him fall in love with Cambodia.
Production
At first, Tavernier wanted to direct a different film. He wanted to make a film that was based on his daughter Tiffany's novel Dans la nuit aussi le ciel. Tiffany didn't want him to direct it because she thought that it would be too difficult. Tiffany later ended up proposing Holy Lola to her father and wrote the screenplay.
