Trivia After a few appearances in TV series, Mathilde Seigner made her film debut in this movie in which her sister, Emmanuelle, was the main character. In this film, Mathilde Seigner plays a stripper and performs a dance number completely naked. Surrounded by three other dancers, the young woman performs a very sexy number in a cabaret in front of an audience. A modest role in terms of screen presence, but a bold and difficult one to tackle for the young actress, who drank 8 cognacs before the scene to give herself courage. See more »
