What's left behind the scenes
- The film's title was borrowed from the famous expression "après moi, le déluge," or "after me, the flood," attributed to King Louis XV of France. The monarch was speaking about what the country would soon have to endure (such as the events that led to the French Revolution during the reign of Louis XVI).
