Interesting facts

Production
In an interview with the New York Post, Catherine Breillat appeared to confirm the rumors of actual on-set sex. "An actor never pretends," she said. "At the same time, I'm not perverse. I don't impose on my actors or actresses any more than is absolutely necessary. But I don't pretend. I don't simulate.
The film features explicit copulation scenes, especially one showing Ducey's coitus with Siffredi.
