The two tennis players at that Amanda and David see at Wimbledon are Forster and McLennan. Grant McLennan and Robert Forster were the main songwriting duo for the Australian band, The Go-Betweens, whose music can be heard playing in the record store when David visits Lena there.
The desire for the director Mikhaël Hers to seize something of the violence of our time is notably born of the attacks of 2015.
Mikhaël Hers has chosen to invent an attack in the Bois de Vincennes as a starting point for his film, a tragic event that will disrupt the lives of its protagonists.
Mikhaël Hers was born on February 6, 1975 in Paris. He studied in the production department at La Fémis, from which he graduated in 2004. He then directed three short films: Charell (presented at the Critics' Week, Cannes Film Festival 2006), Primrose Hill (also presented at the Semaine de la Critic, Cannes Festival 2007, and awarded at Clermont Ferrand) and Montparnasse (presented at the Directors' Fortnight, Cannes Film Festival 2009, and winner of the Jean Vigo Prize). After Memory Lane (Locarno Festival 2010) and This Feeling of Summer (Rotterdam Festival 2016), Amanda is his third feature film. It has been selected in the Orizzonti section at the Venice Festival 2018.
Although not credited, the soundtrack features Aaron Copland's Clarinet Concerto in the final sequence.
