Cast

Production

The film was produced by François Kraus and Denis Pineau-Valencienne at Les Films du Kiosque.[5] It was co-produced by France 3 Cinema, Volapuk and Belgium's Umedia.[6]

Filming did not take place in the artist's original house in Le Cannet, as Provost did not want the film to be too integrated into the city. He needed "more space and nature" for the film. Instead, he filmed the scenes at Domaine d'Orvès in La Valette-du-Var.[7] The film was partially shot in the city of Toulon and its surrounding area, located in the south of France.[8]

Release

The film was selected to be screened in the Cannes Premiere section of the 76th Cannes Film Festival,[9] where it had its world premiere on 21 May 2023.[10] The film is scheduled to be distributed in France by Memento Distribution on 10 January 2024.[11]

Reception

Screen International's Lisa Nesselson calls the film ..."a touching, visually fetching and educational look at the intertwining of art and stubborn romance".[12]
