    • Trivia
      For the film, director Laurent Bouhnik did not favor professional actors but instead posted a small ad open to anyone on the internet. In his ad he stated what he was looking for: "For this film on pleasure and desire, we are looking for actors/actresses aged 20 to 40, professionals or amateurs. who agree to shoot scenes with non-simulated sexual acts. We want to offer everyone the opportunity to apply for the main roles. Amateurs, professionals from theater, cinema, fashion, of any genre or illustrious strangers who believe in their talent. But we are not looking for gymnasts or sex addicts, and this is not a porn star academy. This project is a real cinema film and the strength of cinema comes through interpretation. In order to interpret the characters of our story, we are therefore looking for real actors capable of playing on feelings, of making people laugh, crying, of excitement, capable of conveying emotions to spectators."
    • Quotes

      Cécile: To Cyril Collard, and to all those who still believe that love means something.

    • Alternate versions
      The 2012 North America DVD release called "Desire" and is released by Strand Releasing, although is not rated, is a censored version replacing most "hardcore" footage with alternate scenes.

    Honest, fascinating movie
    I love this film! It is honest and beautiful, and I actually liked how all the sexy scenes never stopped surprising you. Very sincere and I also love the storyline. There is nothing about this movie that feels fake, and yes, maybe it was not what I expected but it was... fascinating. It also contains some great acting.

    More films out there should be this honest and real! And also, I like Cecile's and Chance's relationship, it is just so interesting... You can really see from the beginning how they care for each other, and yet they do not make any promises or expect anything from each other.

    The shooting and conversations in the movie is what I feel makes it so honest. Absolutely wonderful.

    I would totally watch it again. And again.
