“I’m tired of getting screwed.”
Jeanne (Sandrine Bonnaire)
The director Marion Laine set her cameras in Marseille, where the action takes place, but also in the region of La Rochelle in Charente-Maritime. For the sequence in which Sandrine Bonnaire comes to the aid of a young pregnant woman on the beach, the filmmaker was looking for a quiet place, spared from mass tourism. The beach of Châtelaillon-Plage having offered him all the necessary latitude to shoot.
About her desire to adapt Julie Bonnie’s novel, Marion Laine told Allociné at the time of the film’s release: “With Marine Arrighi, my producer, we were fascinated by his testimony and decided to launch an adaptation. Julie Bonnie gave me a lot of food for thought to give birth to this scenario. The challenge was to get away from the darkness of the book. As the writing progressed, the idea of a woman fighting to rebuild herself, to find a meaning to her life, emerged. And the challenge was to reach this fulfillment without going through the traditional love story.“
This is the third time that Sandrine Bonnaire plays under the direction of Marion Laine after Un cœur simple and the TV movie Ce soir-là et les jours d’après, released respectively in 2009 and 2019.
