About her role in this film, Emmanuelle Béart said, "It's funny, I had always sworn to myself never to play naked in the cinema, because I find that there is an overdose on the way in which the female body is exploited. And then Jacques arrived. He told me: 'You are going to play naked.' And it was exciting to exploit that nudity. Because it's a real woman playing. And the look of Jacques, that of Michel too, because for me they are inseparable, helped me a lot. But it's true that when you find yourself naked in front of the camera, it's very difficult. I had a few seconds of real discomfort. I wasn't hurt, just paralyzed. I was very scared. I was unable to move. I no longer had a shell. And then I gradually relaxed. The team was small and I never feared the gaze of people on set. Little by little, I took real physical pleasure in giving something. My body became active. Of course, there were moments of total refusal. I felt like an object. I wanted to escape this image of woman-object. But I especially wanted to transform the image of the model. I wanted this painting to be done in pairs. Between this woman and this painter, there is a clash of two gazes. She looks at him and provokes him. And she doesn't want to let go." (IMDb)
