    • Trivia
      Antoine Duhamel composed and recorded a score for the film, which went unused as it didn't satisfy Olivier Assayas, who blamed himself, considering he wasn't able to convey what he wanted from the music. Thus, only preexisting music is used in the film.

    About love and globalization
    I just saw this picture and it gave me the impression of Assayas trying to give us a symbolic message on globalization, French versus American markets, and at the end he delivers a movie about the film industry itself.As they say, do it for the French market!

    Cinematography is at its best, rhythm of images goes perfectly along character´s feelings at the moment.

    Beautiful ball sequence and very good explanation on ceramic and china industry at beginning of 20th century, breath taking swiss sceneries.

    I WW sequence is also very well done.

    Emmanuelle Beart and Isabelle Huppert are splendorous,La Huppert appears less but is much more intense.

    Also got the impression that novel had much more to offer than the 3 hours film version, but this is film, anyway, and script is script.

    Beginning and ending with a death scene, love is the only worthy thing in life.
