    • Trivia
      The end card has two cryptic abbreviations: BAADC, that may be interpreted as "Bonjour aux amis du club" (meaning, greetings to my club's friends), and MAV, for "Mort aux vaches" (French slang meaning, death to the cops). According to film researcher Jenifer Papararo, the acronym B.A.A.D.C, would mean "bonjour aux amis de calamité," which translates as a a greeting to friends of disgrace.

    Homophobia/Homoeroticism in Chant d'Amour
    A reviewer's homophobia shouldn't delegitimize a film depicting homoeroticism.

    Chant d'Amour already explores homosexual paralysis in a homophobic world.

    The film's wall—and its metaphorical representation of societal homophobia—obstructs the consummation of love between the two males.

    Homophobia hinders love within the film; but a review of the (beautiful, provocative, original) film shouldn't be hindered by homophobia.
