- TriviaJane Birkin said she asked Jean-Louis Trintignant to hit her for real in a scene. "My first scene was rather difficult: I was naked in front of Trintignant in the hotel room. Moreover, in the script, it was written that he was kissing my breasts. I thought: My God, he has fallen badly! I was ashamed. Only one thing helped me: he had to slap me and make me fall on the floor. Now, when you get a slap on the mouth, your mouth becomes like cotton when you say the next lines. I had to say, 'You have a little bike in your head'. My mouth hurt and I said it in a cottony way. Unfortunately, we had to double the scene because of the camera noise, and I couldn't do it as well. I would have had to get a grip on myself! Today, I wouldn't hesitate to do it. Trintignant was nice, he didn't want to hurt me. I wanted him to hurt me, I begged him to hit me," Birkin recalled.

Featured review
It is just a beautiful film. Not exactly in ordinary manner who you expect - sure the cast is more than impressive, the dialogues are just fair, the satire works more than seductive, the dream , animating many from us , reminding a sort of Vicomte de Valmont and pure intelectual voyerism are admirable good points- but for situations, cliches reinvented in wise manner, for the magnificent end and for references to so many familiar situations from literature and cinema.
An ordinary man, working in a bank, after two meetings with a young girl becomes the subject of a sort of social experiment of his friend.
This is all, in fact, and you become part of each step of the way , with dramatic to terrible consequences of a functionary beginning a different life in profound sense.
In short, just a gem.
