- TriviaDirector Malgorzata Szumowska revealed Joanna Kulig, who in the film plays a prostitute, was so afraid of the scene where she is naked with a client who is peeing over her. "It was amazing that for three months she was afraid of that scene. But what was challenging was that when she starts to do it, she did it very fast. In a few hours without any hysteria, no questions." During that scene Kulig wanted to hear classical music and asked that not all the crew were on the set. "For me it was very difficult to keep concentrated!" - the actress said. "The scene was funny. On the sixth time [the juice machine] was broke so we had to stop. And everybody started to laugh. I had to be very concentrated. To have a serious face thinking about the subject. And I started to play and for two minutes, 'Sorry! We have to stop. This machine doesn't work with the juice!'

Featured review
Erotic lifestyles
According to some reports, great many female students in France financed their studies from prostitution. This film starts from this report. Juliette Binoche plays the journalist who interviews two of these girls. Many times.
She tries to analyze it all from a cold professional view, but finds that she is the one who changes and maybe also gets analyzed. The girls tell her they are abused sometimes, but Binoche is the one who takes the biggest injuries.
Interesting film about "Western morals" declining more and more in all ways, since we're not interesting in sharing profits like we used to. But the film is a little cold and and analyzing, just like a professional journalist should be.
