In the program, Solange Sicard is 4th billed as Olive Mesmi, most likely the character Oliva Salvoni in the novel. It appears that her role must have been cut as there is no such character in the film and her name was removed from the on-screen credits. See more »Quotes

This was the 2nd Marcel L'Herbier movie that I watched. It has some strange and mystical quality that sometimes remind me of #PaulAuster's novels. Amazing adaptation, wonderful plot.
