Joachim Lafosse adapted Laurent Mauvignier's novel in a very sparse manner. He put aside the character of the father and did not want to give too much information about the past of the other protagonists.
The recurrent musical theme of the Oboe is a Piazzolla tango, entitled "Oblivion" and played by oboist Marcel Ponseele accompanied by his Belgian Baroque ensemble Il Gardellino.
Horses play an important role in Continue since they are essential in rebuilding the bond between mother and son. Aesthetically, they are also very beautiful animals to film, which bring a sensuality, a presence and a grace in the movement according to Joachim Lafosse. Originally rather afraid of speed and the animal, Virginie Efira took classes for two months. The actress worked with Mario Luraschi, who is a stuntman and equestrian trainer.
It is about the adaptation of the novel of the same title of Laurent Mauvignier (2016).
