Final film of Yveline Ailhaud.
The first cinematographer was Denis Lenoir. In the documentary Blier, Leconte, Tavernier: trois vies de cinéma (2020), Tavernier says he witnessed Niermans losing the control of his movie from the moment he agreed to the demand of his actor Alain Delon to replace the cinematographer Denis Lenoir by the one preferred by Delon.
