Short description
In 1930s Paris, Madeleine, a pretty, young, penniless, and talentless actress, is accused of murdering a famous producer. Helped by her best friend, Pauline, a young, unemployed lawyer, she is acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. A new life of fame and success begins, until the truth comes out.
What's left behind the scenes
- The poster for the fictional production “Dans Le Calvaire de Suzette” is a copy of the famous black-and-white photograph of film actress Louise Brooks (1906-1985) with a string of pearls.
- The image of Isabelle Huppert's character is based on the famous theater actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923).
- Director and screenwriter François Ozon conceived this film during the period of COVID restrictions. The film was created under the influence of American eccentric comedies of the 1930s, particularly the works of directors Ernst Lubitsch (1892-1947) and Frank Capra (1897-1991), as well as American perceptions of Paris during the same period, as shown in cinema, such as in Blake Edwards' comedic melodrama “Victor/Victoria” (1982).
