Alain Guiraudie films sex very frontally and the first love scene, with this vulva in the foreground, obviously evokes Courbet's The Origin of the World. Asked about her nude scenes, India Hair said: "When Alain read the script, he asked Damien Bonnard and me what we were willing to do and what we thought was more complicated. What I was afraid of was to show an intimacy of my sexuality. There, I would have had difficulties to let myself go. Alain told us that we had to choreograph what we were going to do. That allows us to take some distance. And then I had seen 'L'Inconnu du lac' and I had found it so sublime! We worked some scenes with a double, others without, it was up to us to choose."
