What's left behind the scenes

  • To make the actors' performance more natural, Godard would explain to them what was required of them in a scene directly during filming.
  • Michel Poicard mentions someone named Bob Montagne. Bob Montagne is the main character in Jean-Pierre Melville’s film “Bob the Gambler” (1955).
  • In the film, Michel Poicard is sometimes presented as Laszlo Kovacs. Laszlo Kovacs is a character from Claude Chabrol’s 1959 film “Double Play”.
  • Godard couldn't afford a camera dolly, so the cameraman was wheeled around on a rolling chair in many scenes. He borrowed this technique from Jean-Pierre Melville.
  • Melville himself appears in a cameo role as the writer Parvulescu, who gives his first interview to Patricia. Melville borrowed the answers to her questions and his mannerisms from Nabokov – he had observed all of this in one of the writer’s television interviews.
  • Filming took place from August 17 to September 15, 1959.
  • Godard and Truffaut wrote the script before the start of each shooting day, and the actors had to improvise their dialogue as filming progressed.
  • The film completely lacks subtitles.
