Curiosidades
Pola is an acronym for "Pierre ou les ambiguites," the French translation of the title of the Herman Melville novel on which the film is based.

Citações
Margherite: Be careful! You dream of writing a mature work, but your charm lies in your thorough immaturity. You dream of setting fire to God knows what, of rising above your times like a dazzling cloud, leaving everyone terrified and admiring. But you weren't born for that, Pierre! You don't even believe it yourself.

Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
After credits there's a dedication "à mes trois soeurs" ("for my three sisters").

Versões alternativas
An alternate longer TV version entitled "Pierre ou les ambiguïtés", edited in 3 one-hour episodes, was shown for the first time on September 24, 2001 on 'Arte', the German-French TV channel. The 3 episodes feature an additional 40 minutes of footage and are titled 'A la lumière' (In the Light), 'A l'ombre des lumières' (In the Shadows of the Lights) and 'Dans le sang' (In the Blood). The TV-version is closer to Carax' original concept, that the film should consist of 3 distinct parts: "The film was thought to be in three parts, three chapters. There's the one chapter in the countryside, called 'In the Light.' I knew this chapter would be light, it would be green and white, green for nature. I dyed all of the actors' hairs blonde and put them in white shirts. (...) So the film is going from light to darkness and rust. (...) So there was a conscious [decision] of going from light to dark, and from 35mm to 16mm." (Sept. 2000) The 3-episodes-TV-version is not only longer, but features different footage. The new sequences explore the dreams of Pierre and his relationship with his mother, sister and fiancée. The 3-episodes-TV-version has not been released on other media yet.

Fascinating Aesthetics

I watched Pola X because Scott Walker composed the film score and I admire his music a lot. Frankly, I expected a somewhat pretentious and possibly incoherent French movie. I was wrong. The vision of the film quickly managed to engage my attention to the fullest - starting with the opening sequence, which shows black and white footage of military airplanes throwing bombs at graves at the sounds of music and Scott Walker's beautiful wailing voice. The film explores the identity crisis of Pierre (Guillaume Depardieu - a brilliant choice for the role) and his consequential (self-)destruction. The story is divided into two parts the first depicts Pierre's carefree life in a beautiful house in the French countryside and the second follows his utter personal disintegration after he abandons everything and moves to Paris to live in squalor with his supposed half-sister. Both parts contain some amazingly stunning photography the first very colorful and bright, the second utterly gloomy and nearly apocalyptic - adding up to a true aesthetic feast. Pola X is a fascinating and quite unique movie experience.
