The Green Shutters is a 2022 French drama film directed by Jean Becker. It is based on the 1950 novel of the same name by Georges Simenon, adapted for the screen by Jean-Loup Dabadie in what would be his final screenplay.

Production

In June 2020, it was revealed that Jean-Loup Dabadie had completed and submitted a 96-page script shortly before his death in May 2020. ARP Sélection acquired the rights. The novel had previously been adapted into an episode of the 1988 television series L'Heure Simenon.

In June 2021, Jean Becker was announced as the film's director.

Gérard Depardieu and Fanny Ardant were cast in the lead roles, reportedly envisioned by Dabadie. In September 2021, Benoît Poelvoorde’s participation was confirmed.

Filming began on 23 August 2021 in Paris. In September, filming took place in the Var region, including Le Lavandou and Martigues. Filming wrapped on 30 September 2021.

On 24 February 2024, a set decorator filed a complaint against Gérard Depardieu alleging sexual assault, harassment, and sexist behavior during filming in 2021. A second woman, an assistant director, also accused Depardieu of groping her. Depardieu was charged, with his trial starting in March 2025.
