Interesting facts

Love Hate is a 1971 French film directed by Jean-Pierre Mocky.

Production

The idea for Love Hate was made during the screenwriting process of Jean-Pierre Mocky's previous film Solo (1970). During filming, his writing partner Alain Moury left to buy cigarettes and did not return. They located him three days later in jail as he found himself in the middle of a protest against the Tunisian president Habib Bourguiba.

Love Hate was a French production, produced by two Paris-based companies (Balzac Films and Profilm) and the Nanterre-based Belstar Productions. For the film, Mocky partnered with Claude Veillot, a film critic for L'Express, a film that led the critic to become a full-time screenwriter and leave journalism.

Filming began on January 6, 1971, and was shot in Alsace and Moselle. Interiors were shot at the Éclair Studios in Épinay-sur-Seine.
